Install help
I am already running Ubuntu, Gutsy Gibbon as the default Operating System on my computer and have no intension of changing it but because of the lack of disk space i have decided to install another internal hard drive and i would like run both Windows Vista and Mandriva 2008 on it. Could someone help me out here in order to achieve this please. Big thanks

Have a look at http://apcmag.com/5045/how_to_dual_b...sta_with_linux

General advise tends to be, install Vista first, I shouldn't let it see your Ubuntu disk. Personally I'd rather partition with Linux. If you don't and Vista uses your whole disk, you can get 1/2 of it back, by shrinking the volume later in Vista.

Have a look for saikee's boot info in his signature, there's been lots of boot threads lately. Good luck!

Thanks for the tutorial link RobLinux, even an old n00b like myself should have no problem following the instructions. Shall sort it out this weekend. Cheers!
