Hi all,
I am still very new to ubuntu and would really appreciate some detailed help here. I would like to take out some of my second hard drive, change it from EXT3 to NTFS and add a dual boot Windows XP. I have tried to read a few tutorials but I am still uncertain how to do it as easy as possible. I have backed up all my files to an external HD, but I really don't want to mess it up so I have to reinstall my ubuntu as it have taken me a looooong time to get it working like I want.
Below are some information about my current system, may be of any help?
