Dual boot
Hey,

I'm currently running windows vista and want to move onward to Ubuntu, Is it possible to have both OS installed so i can choose which i'd like to use when I boot up?

How would I go about doing so? I currently have Ubuntu 8.04 burned to a disc and ready to go.

Hi,
There are some generic Windows/Ubuntu instructions here:

You could also consider Wubi - which requires no partitioning. I'm pleased with Xubuntu/Wubi on my laptop as a gentle intro to Linux:
