- xiangxianni, on 12/22/2008, -0/+1Very good post.I will re-write it and add it to my blog.

I run Windows XP:Media Edition, Ubuntu 5.10, and MacOSx86. You can access any information on your HD from any OS. Which is nice if you want to listen to music and not have to have 3 copies of the same music :). It was VERY simple to do...
- TheAttacks, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2VERY GOOD FIND! Posting this on my blog later today.
- delche, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2Thanks for the comment guys. Never would I have thought that a video I made would make it to digg's front page. I need to put the bloopers reel up on google.
- aquax, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1How come it wasn't a surprise when I saw what these two guys looked like? Good video, very useful, but talk about reinforcing Linux-nerd stereotypes!

Have fun ! - binarypower, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0What was so hard about this? My grandmother could do this..... but still it is good for those people who want to dabble in Linux...
- stisev, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0"What was so hard about this? My grandmother could do this..... but still it is good for those people who want to dabble in Linux..."
Seriously,
I digged this and I'm regretting it. What a waste of 30 seconds - saiz66, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0YAY. now i can finally install ubuntu!
- rizzo011, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0This video is about as worthless as watching the hosts man-***** flop around beneath his shirt....
Oh, and your buddy...you know, the "Dude, where's my car" guy...STFU - halter73, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I have a TrendTech 423pi A wireless card based on Texas Instruments ACX 111 wireless interface. I can't use ndiswrapper (it doesn't work with ACX 111) and I found someway to install my card on sourceforge but it is difficult and used mainly for the ACX 100 interface. If someone could help me it would be greatly apreaciated. I still use windows because it is the OS I can access the internet with and I don't want to use windows.
- decompiler, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0why run windows at all? just repartition the whole drive!
[nothin' but ubunutu, edubuntu, and os x tiger in my house.] - JaredRR, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1Two things. First, VMWare is giving away their Virtual Machine player, so you can run Ubuntu on your Windows desktop easily. r00t3d0ut already mentioned this.
Secondly, Ubuntu and Kubuntu both offer free "live cds". You can boot to the live CD, run Ubuntu and see if you like it without touching the hard drive.
Still, a great video. :) - ivanjs, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Awesome job, guys! Already had dual Ubuntu/XP setup, but watched the video anyway-you guys need your own tech show!
You must have compressed the hell out of it to make it more accessible online, but maybe add a little quality back into the video itself for future tutorials. Some of the words were hard to read due to compression artifacting. - whereswayne, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0high fives, ubuntu, and man-boobs
(. )( .)
how can you NOT dig that! - BT-Wang, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1as much as you think they wouldn't be, they're wrong about the bootable flag, it does nothing, windows xp will steal it the next time you boot to it anyway.
if you install the boot loader to the master boot record it NEVER LOOKS at the bootable flags. - p5ych0, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0another video on installing software on ubuntu by the same guys: http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=5253052326994067125
- shakin, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0re: ndiswrapper being difficult to use
Ubuntu and Kubuntu already provide the kernel modules by default. You can run 'sudo apt-get install ndisgtk' (or install ndisgtk using Synaptic) to get a GUI tool for configuring ndiswrapper. Shouldn't be too difficult. - markc, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Anyone have a link to a non-Google-flashed copy ?
- SinisterBunni, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I have tried this a couple of times and have run into problems booting back into XP. I guess that I must be a dumbass.
- rydawg, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Am I the only one who noticed that they seem to like holding hands?
- detour27, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0re: re: ndiswrapper being difficult to use
Ndiswrapper is not installed by default but is dead simple to install via synaptic or apt-get install ndiswrapper. They also support many open-source drivers for various chipsets. My Netgear wg311v2 was auto-detected and had the acx111 driver installed. While I admit that the acx111 driver it was a bit choppy and I opted to install ndiswrapper anyway there's something to be said for auto-installing drivers for my wireless card. - ghelton, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Now can some make a triple boot computer with OSX/Ubuntu/Windows. I want to switch on the fly also, oh can i also access my hard drive through all three.Thanks!
- barbobot, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1Beleive it or not, the only *nix distro where wireless worked out of the box was Linspire 5. I am using a D-Link GWL-650 if anyone cares to help.
http://ndiswrapper.sourceforge.net/ - brianritchie, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0The irony. I just installed Ubuntu, dual-boot with my Win XP today. If only the article was up earlier. ;) Thanks though.
- gloc9, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0"why did they reinstall windows? what noobs. it COMES with everything you need to re-size too"
If you looked closely, you would have seen that the hd was unpartitioned meaning NO OS installed. And to all you "i know it already", go find something else to do other than comment on how useless this is. - n8han, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Why dual boot Windows when you can run Internet Explorer on Wine (for browser testing, of course) and spy the whole setup from your Mac with Free NX?
http://technically.us/n8/articles/2005/11/05/windows-internet-explorer-on-mac-via-linux-wine - peerk, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0"I'd love to run Ubuntu on my laptop but it's lack of WPA-PKS, LEAP, or PEAP pevents me. WEP just wont cut it.."
Try wpa supplicant. I got it working nicely on Fedora, but I imagine it would work just as well on Ubuntu.

- sweetnjguy29, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Since most people won't be reinstalling windows on a dual boot machine, this video is less than useless. However, the default install option when you get to the partition screen allows you to automatically resize the windows partition and create an ext3 automatically. It worked on my machine wonderfully, with no data loss.
- g2h0, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0video tutorial... seriously... come on.....is this intended for my parents?
- subscribtion, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Very good for people looking to try by installing LInux but don't want to ditch XP. Dugg.
- DaveMB, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Dugg it!
- SirThom, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0NICE! Now they need a vidcast... =)
- Sparticuz, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0doh!! same thing brianritchie....i installed it last night!!!
- vh1`, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0the videos were cool, but they seem to "give you a fish", rather than "teach you to fish"
ie (from the video about installing software) when the guy in the hat tells you to use sudo because it works, and doesn't mention that ubuntu doesn't enable the root user by default, and that in other distributions you'll have to use su, or install sudo and edit the sudoers file yourself.
also, use checkinstall helps when installing from source ;) - zonk3r, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1The point about this article being a good way of uprooting yourself from Windows is valid, however there are several people here who clearly don't understand what VMWare is (ie, the folks that claim it is "slow").
VMWare isn't a full x86 emulator like Bochs or Virtual PC; it really only emulates the BIOS (and a few other system components). Most of the rest of the system is being run at full speed (though CPU time is being shared with the host OS, being either Windows or another copy of Linux). For most things it will run them at almost full speed. Most people wouldn't even notice the difference between running fully native vs. running within VMWare.
It's also a zillion times better than hosing your system if you are playing around with an experimental operating system. Get a copy and try it before claiming it sucks... - strangeman, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0@edmicman
I'm in the same situation you're in. I have one single project which I still need VS.NET for. I went for dual boot and it was very easy. With the new Breezy you can either let Ubuntu decide how to do the partitioning or just do it yourself. When I installed Hoary you had to do it yourself and it was still very easy.
Since I installed Hoary I only use windows once a week. When I'm working on that specific .NET project. - strangeman, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0btw: this video has been there for AGES
- boredvideoguy, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0cool video the only thing I suggest is find yourself a wireless mic and some kind of lighting. A cheap example would be some 500 watt construction lights from home depot.
- sexualpotatoes, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Snore! Do we really need a tutorial for installing ubuntu?
Uh, maybe not you, but there are lots of people out there who are interested in trying Linux and I for one appreciate someone taking the time to make a video. It would have been very nice to have something like that available when I was first experimenting with dual-boot.
More help for newbies and less RTFM from the l33t squad would be nice.
Righteous props to the video makers. Keep 'em coming.
----------------------------------
holy crap, i am a complete linux noob and i never partitioned before. I managed to re-size my windows partition and install ubuntu on the first time WHOA MAGIC! it is almost as if it is easy to do...
the GRUB auto-installs...
why did they reinstall windows? what noobs. it COMES with everything you need to re-size too - ibis, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0"Should I dual boot or load ubuntu as the primary OS and use VMWare to run XP?"
I won't try to say which is best for you, but I run win2k under WMWare under Ubuntu for the one windows app I need. I've got an Athlon 64 3500+ and the speed is fine, you probably want to have 1Gb of RAM though, so you can run windows with 512Mb and still have plenty left for everything else.
You mention you want to do dev stuff, if you want to run Visual Studio or something big like that it might be a different story. My recommendation would be to setup a windows in vmware in your current windows install (if that makes sense) and check to see if that runs fast enough for what you want to do. - Abatrour, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1They should have went into more detail about the file systems, I know there are many people out there that would be pissed to find out they cant access their ntfs drive from linux or the other way around (without installing hard to find programs).
- Sofa_King_Jank, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0What meatwhistles... still laughing at the high-five and the 1974 "Dazed and Confused" hair style.
- zenghost, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0hey! they have the same atx case i have. and thx deadlyhunter for the kanotix tip, because my wlan card wont work for ***** on ubuntu...
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0@dashifen try kanotix it makes setting up a wireless card child's play
www.kanotix.com - Califax, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0Cool digg++
- sexualpotatoes, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0this is not news, the install disk automatically detects windows and you can install GRUB by simple replying yes when it asks if you want to dual-boot
-no digg - BT-Wang, on 10/12/2007, -2/+1vmware is slow as hell.. I can't believe anyone seriously suggested it.
