Can anyone help me with how to go about dual booting the to OS's
  • sivart9t9, on 02/21/2008, -0/+21.You can download a bootable Ubuntu cd for free here: http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/download
    2.Shut down your computer and when it restarts tap F8 repeatedly. This will bring you into your boot options.
    3.Move boot from cd up to the first spot

    Ubuntu will load without installing anything. This is more a test drive than anything else. If you do like it, you can partition a portion of your hard drive using www.partitionlogic.org.uk and install it there.

    For a decent video overview on dualbooting ubuntu, watch this: www.video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-6104490811311898236
