First Time Linux(Ubuntu) user, Installing
I want to install ubuntu on a seperate hard drive. I have two 500gb sata drives with XP on sata 0,0 and like to install ubuntu on the other sata 1,1.
A few questions:
Will this work?
Can I unplug the XP drive and boot up with ubuntu to 1,1?
If that works, how can I boot to each operating systems without editing my BIOS first?
Thank you in advance
