Subject: [orca-list] Help with Installing Ubuntu Hey folks,
I know this isn't directly about Orca, however, I
was getting stuck during part four of the install. I first installed Ubuntu with
in Windows, but ran into problems (Windows stopped booting).
What I am asking is on the manual choice of
partitioning what options should I use? I have a 250 Gig drive that's
partitioned into 3 partitions. The first is a 100 Gig partition with Windows XP
(ntfs). The second partition is 40 Gigs undefined. The third is another 100 Gig
partition for data (ntfs).
I want to install Ubuntu on the second 40 Gig
partition and have a duel boot with XP. I want the third partition to be
accessible to both Ubuntu and XP for reading and writing data.
Is the manual option the best choice or can I
accomplish this with the first option of resizing? Again the partitions are
already in place. Should I go and format the second partition before installing.
I have Partition Magic. Should I set up 36 Gigs as X3 and the remaining 4 Gigs
as swop?
Sorry for the long post; any help would be
appreciated.
Thanks,
Vinny
