Hi
I am currently running Ubuntu 8.04 and am well pleased with it, having installed it on the entire free space of my HD after a Windows XP crash (yes, I know it's hard to believe). But for my studies I'm going to need Windows XP as well so am going to install a larger HD and would like to run a dual boot system.
Can you tell me, please, the best method i.e. Ubuntu first or Windows, plus the correct or rather, the most tried and tested method for a successful dual boot install, or am I simply asking to enter a world of pain?
Thank you,
