@UTLR1 Either way, the boot loader that is installed will give you the choice of booting into the Windows C drive or Linux what you boot the computer. Hope this helps. The Ubuntu forums can give you a lot more info.

@Misklahr It shouldn't matter what hard drive you install it on. The Linux installer will number the drives like sda and a second drive sdb etc. so your D drive may be sdb. Or if D is another partition on the first drive (sda) then C might be sda1 and D might be sda2. That's the way Linux numbers the drives and partitions. If D is a second hard drive then you'll have to boot from that drive. If D is a second partition on the first drive that has the C partition then keep booting from that drive.

Do I have to make the FAT32 partition or is it optional? Can I just make the swap partition and the Ubuntu partition only and be fine? Thanks for the help!

@25293Blaze Yes it's just optional. It's just my preference to do it that way. All you have to do is make the Ubuntu partition and a swap partition. Typically the swap partition should be double the amount of RAM that's installed in your machine especially if you have 1GB RAM or less (especially if you plan to use an application that needs lots of memory). But if your machine already has lots of RAM installed you don't have to make such a large swap partition. In that case 1GB would be fine.

Very good Video-Guide !! ... btw, i am planning to dual boot windows 7 and Ubuntu 10.10, i heard that one should install windows first and then ubuntu or else ubuntu will get corrupted.. is that true?
emotive007 1 year ago
@emotive007 Yes it's easier to install Windows first then Linux but if Windows is installed second Linux doesn't get corrupted but Windows will overwrite the bootloader making it impossible to boot the Linux install. The Linux install will still be fine just not visible or bootable. In that case you'll have to restore the GRUB loader which I explain in my video called Reinstall grub2 using Ubuntu live CD.
