HI, I Would like to dual boot the Computer with Ubuntu and Windows Vista. I have 2 HDD one awaiting a fresh install of Ubuntu and the other with Vista.
Hello, I have been around and around these forums and stuff and kinda have an idea of how this should work but I have a few questions on how a fresh install works. I am a Windows OS savvy person, so I thought I would give UBuntu a try to see how this works. I have an extra IDE 120GB HDD sitting around, so i thought heck why not. OK heres my question. I want to install ubuntu on a computer using dual boot I am running Vista, the hdd I have vista on is SATA. And the 120GB HDD is IDE. Should I set the IDE HDD to master?? I think the answer would be a yes, but I am not really savvy on the whole sata thing. My motherboard has connections for both. OK moving on lets say that works. I want to repartition, reformat the 120GB HDD and install ubuntu. Would that installer that you download and burn onto a CD do all of the above? I was reading about ext3 or ext4 but i didn't see ext1 or ext2 mentioned why?? I would like to dual boot the system using vista and Ubuntu. I think the hdd I am installing to has a dead copy of windows 2000 on it with the NTFS file system. I would like to get rid of the Windows NTFS and go from there. I know a little lengthy sorry about that. a little help with a step by step install would be nice.
Thanks
Dave Wilson
