Update: these pages look particularly useful: http://ungeeking.net/2007/04/09/dual-boot-vista-and-ubuntu/ "create some space on your drive for your linux install. I used Vista's Disk Manager (Control Panel -> System and Maintenance -> Create and format hard disk partitions under the Administrative Tools area) to partition my drive" "inserted the Ubuntu live CD and rebooted." "The guides above both mentioned the need to edit the GRUB boot loader to recognize Vista. For whatever reason, GRUB recognized my Vista install and I didn't have to do anything. When I boot up I can boot successfully into Vista or Ubuntu." Sounds like the bootloader issue may have been cracked - so much for M$ obfuscation. http://jsbi.blogspot.com/2007/03/how-to-dual-boot-windows-vista-and.html Which also describes a fixed install that doesn't have any issue with the Vista bootloader and that one lets Ubuntu do the partitioning. -- Neil Williams ============= http://www.data-freedom.org/ http://www.nosoftwarepatents.com/ http://www.linux.codehelp.co.uk/
