want to dual boot Ubuntu & WinXP

[chrisalviola]

I want to know if this is possible, what should i do? I dont want to waste time installing again. how many parititions should I have? Which OS should I install first windows or Ubuntu?

 

[patrickv]

partitions = 2
installation = windows XP first

thats what i did with suse and it may work for ubuntu

where Should I install XP on drive C or D?

 

[patrickv]

So is seems theres windows already on your hard drive ?

 

[patrickv]

ok if this is a fresh install parition your hard drive into 2 with XP while in the setup.
When all is done with XP, boot up ubuntu.Click the install icon and later in the process make sure you choose unpartitioned space ok !!

Yep windows first, then ubuntu.

Linux DOES NOT USE DRIVE LETTERS, so dont worry where you install windows as linux uses different file systems.

I think a very similar question to this was asked only recently;
