hey
ok i just dual booted my laptop with xp and ubuntu linux.
it seems awesome although i havnt yet had the chance to play around with linux
my questions are:
1) i have partitioned my hard drive wrong. it has 50% xp and 50% linux.
i only wanted linux to have a small amount of space to start off with. iv been told you can re-partition after you have dual booted the O/S but i dont know how.
does anyone know that?
also,
2) how do i make windows xp top in the list when turning on the computer the first time?
i want this so if i dont touch it for 6 seconds, or how ever many it is, it boots in xp rather than linux

thanks in advanced

ok after doing some research i see i need to use gparted (for my first question)
i downloaded the live-cd version (i think it was called) and burnt the whole file 40,000kb(ish) to disk. but when i restart my comp with the cd in the drive it does recognise theres a disk there and goes straight to the O/S sector screen.
what have i done wrong?
