_Ray Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 (edited) EDIT: When you install Ubuntu, and you partition, does it erase ANY old data? (I'm trying to dual boot, XP installed first) Edited February 4, 2009 by raybob95 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WRX22B1998 Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 you can install ubuntu inside your windows partition without having to make a new one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_Ray Posted February 4, 2009 Author Share Posted February 4, 2009 Will it modify or erase ANY previous data? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WRX22B1998 Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 umm no as long as your current partition has enough free space (it wont let you do it otherwise) it can be installed on your windows partition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How do you boot as a live CD? Is it possible to boot the iso from my hard disk before Windows? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WRX22B1998 Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 get imgburn, install and then choose "write image file to disc" then find your ubuntu ISO and a cd/dvd and then thats it. then put the cd in your computer, and turn it off. then turn it on, it should say something like "press any key to boot from cd" , so you do that. if it doesnt say that, you need to go into the bios settings and change boot priority so that CD is before hard disk.
