Ive been using the How to dual-boot Windows XP and Linux, on a system where you have already installed XP. Guides

my problem is the screenshot that shows How to Prepare the disk space is not the one showing on my PC

Step by step guide has :

Guided- Resize SCS12 (0, 0, 0 ,) partition # 1 (sda) and use freed space

New partition size
Microsoft Windows XP Professional 50% UBUNTU 8.4 50%
You can drag the dividing line left or right to increase or decrease the amount of space to be freed up.

Guided -use entire disk
SCS12 (0, 0, 0,) (sda) – 21.5 GB ATA VM Ware Virtual 1
Guided -use the longest continuous free space
Maual

On my Computer which runs Windows XP PRO
My Only options on my screen are :

Guided -use entire disk

SCS13 (0, 0, 0,) (sda) – 250.1GB ATA ST3250620AS
SCS14 (0, 0, 0,) (sdb) – 164.7 GB ATA WDC WD 1600YS-01S

Manual

I have even tried seting up a 15 gb partition on my Computer and saving it as Ext3 file format (using Disk Director) I can Boot into Ubuntu if I use the CD.

What iso are you using?

386 as I read in a few forums that this will work fine on 32bit or 64bit.

Ive also been told that unless you have at least 4gb of Ram there is no advantage in 64bit....


Thanks
