I have a brand new harddrive.
Can I install Ubunti first and then install XP in a dual operating
system mode?
Thanks,

[deleted]How big is your hard drive? divide that number by two and subtract 100 meg to give
the linux number. The XP number is 1/2 the size.
0. Read *all* text files on the linux disk before you even start. linux
is *not* XP, it doesn't "auto-install" you *have* to know what you are doing.
No, you have to install XP first as it will wipe out the way linux boots
when it installs.

I have used other Linux distros with which it is a very simple matter
to restore the linux boots: by booting with the linux CD and carrying
out a "repair". I have done this a couple of times, when it bcame
necessary to reinstall (or repair-install) Windows-xp
Is Ubuntu different?
OT? How much space does Ubuntu take? I've got a spare 10 gigIt's better to install XP first. XP will overwrite the master boot record, making Ubuntu unbootable. Also, Ubuntu will recognize that you have XP on your system and configure your boot loader appropriately. XP will not do the same for Ubuntu.
