Hi, I've recently installed Ubuntu on a clean HD, ext3 format on 100 gigs of 160 total, but I realized that I also want XP on for games, since I'm having way too much trouble running them on ubuntu.
So, I've read this guide http://apcmag.com/how_to_dual_boot_linux_and_windows_xp_linux_instal led_first.htm?page=4
until I got to the point where it says to install xp from the cd, which I can't do because it totally skips detecting the cd at boot time, despite the fact I made a 35 gig ntfs partition
CD is set as first choice in boot order, next is the HD
So how do I make it detect and boot from the xp cd so I can install it ?
I think it's the master boot loader, but I don't know what to do to fix it.
thanks for reading
