If you're gonna monkey around with dual boot I recommend you go download and burn a copy of Super Grub Disk (google it). That disk has saved me a LOT of headaches in setting up/fixing dual boot.<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">

</div></div>If you just wnt to use Windows for a few programs like quicken, MS<br>
office or some business-type application then you may want to consider<br>
virtualization. Install VirtualBox and then follow the instructions to<br>
install Windows Vista in Virtual Box. You can then run Windows and<br>
Ubuntu at the same time. This won't work if you are hoping to use 3d<br>
applications like games.<br>
