Dual booting Ubuntu and Vista has been dealt with in other threads but
I can't Google an answer to my question:
Which file system should I use to format a brand new 160GB SATA HDD so
that I can use it to dual boot Vista Home Premium and Ubuntu 7.04?
Some further information -
My new p.c. is 2.4GHz Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 processor. It has an
existing 500GB SATA drive with the Vista setup files stored on a
partition on this drive (the p.c. was supplied this way - I do not
have a Vista DVD)
I am going to install the 160GB drive as the master drive and was
going to partition it 10GB for Linux and 150GB for Vista. The 500GB
drive I would then use just for data (I like to keep data separate
from the OS files).
So, how should I format the 160GB drive for my application? (FAT32?
NTFS? Linux fdisk? Vista fdisk?). This is my first time with Linux and
I'd appreciate the benefit of your experience.
