Can you teach me how to dual-boot windows(inspirat2) and linux ubuntu v5.1(something). It cannot be setup in the Windows OS.. so i did was I boot the Linux CD.. then after that, it makes you choose: type: “server”; then the other one is press enter to install. The prob is, how to partition the drive. I have only one HDD(40 Gb) then, I partitioned it by: 2gb (FREE), 19gb for storage, 19gb for my WinXP(Inspirat2) then excess 8mb. I'd made a 2gb partition because I planned to use it for Linux OS.. but I dont know how to partition it using linux ubuntu v5.1... Hi Mike!
