>‘pop in my spare hd’… Exactly, wat u mean by that?? Make it bootable??

That means you should have an external HD which you plug into your USB port. When computer recognizes this you can make this bootable in Ubuntu.

>One more thing, my comp now has partition C and D. I install xp in C but most of the files r in D. Lets say i install ubuntu in D, will it erase my other files?? *my D partition has 70GB*

Ubuntu will make another partition if you wish.

“You have the Ubuntu install disc, so pop in your spare hard drive (if you do not know how to do this, make a quick detour to the PC Mech Forums”

I go to there and i hav no idea how to ‘pop in my spare hd’… Exactly, wat u mean by that?? Make it bootable??

One more thing, my comp now has partition C and D. I install xp in C but most of the files r in D. Lets say i install ubuntu in D, will it erase my other files?? *my D partition has 70GB*

MS
if you have your windows vista installed…install your linux fresh.. reboot pc with linux cd in cd player and install from there , not from inside windows
like…
make sure you have 7 partitions (haha)
install 98 from cd on bootup
then install 2000 from cd on bootup
then install xp from cd on bootup
then install server 2003 from cd on bootup
then instal vista from cd on bootup
then install windows 7 cd on bootup
then install ubuntu from cd on bootup and import all off above (it will ask you)
then when you bootup you will have the choice of ubuntu or longhorn
if you choose ubuntu it will boot to ubuntu, if you choose longhorn it will take you to a screen where you have to choose vista, win 7 or older …if you choose older you have the choice of 2000 xp and 98
best of luck
