Don't worry about the partioning....Vista can help...believe it or not!!

For dual booting with Vista, use the shrink option in Administrative Controls (I think) in the Control Panel.
(It's only been a month and I'm forgetting the Windows stuff already!!!)

Defrag first....
Right click the drive you want to partition. Select Shrink.
Use as much space as you can....Click OK.
Reboot with the LiveCD/DVD in your drive. Follow your nose through the instructions.
When it asks about partitions, select Guided - Use available space (or similar_ - NOT manual.

The great thing about this puppy is that it will find the space you freed up, install to that space and then set up the boot loader to ask you if you want to boot Ubuntu or WIndows.

Ubuntu is default so , if you leave it, that's what will boot.

I dual booted for less than a day. Because Ubuntu could see my backup drive in NTFS, I ditched Vista real quick.

This Ultimate Edition 1.7 is great....I'm not going back.

Cheers

hey thanks a lot i'll try that!!

also, regarding your comment about ubuntu seeing an ntfs drive... i've had some experience with ubuntu 7.10 on my old laptop but it can't see more than one ntfs drive at once after you mount the ntfs media in terminal. Does Ultimate Edition have some sort of tool preinstalled that will help to see, for example, my two WD mybooks and my windows partition?

thanks in advance!

All I know is that I set up the dual boot, installed Ubuntu to the free space and, after logging in, I could access my backup drive and play music. This backup drive was formatted NTFS.

Sorry...I don't know about the other things you were asking about. Perhaps someone more knowledgable can jump in here.

well... you kinda answered my question anyway... because i assume all you had to do was click on the drive in "computer" and it worked... but in 7.10 you have to mount it in terminal first.

Yes there is a tool just for NTFS access pre-installed for your convenience called NTFS Configuration tool, out of the box Ultimate Edition will allow you to view not write to your NTFS partition, if you want to write to the partition just fire up the tool and select write access (Applications>> System Tools >> NTFS Configuration Tool)

As far as raid mine is "detected" but does not show up until I follow my own raid howto, wireless have you tried ndis wrapper. I need to write a how to for it as well. The neighbours need to get their wireless turned back on so I can verify it works ;)

Great upgrade, my home files carried from 1.6-1.7 with no trouble (from memory) I think I also included the sbackup defaults etc usr/local/and var, but in the end I stuck with home. Since I like to load the system up with applications, (perhaps just maybe because I can) I have learned to make tar root backup.tgz ,I like the verbose-you know when it's finished, because although I am new to Linux, I like to 'experiment' and was reinstalling the system and starting again, rather than take the time to learn about grub and fstab. My logic has been that lessons learned the hard way are best remembered. It has helped me have a very good memory. The kubuntu-docs problem seemed like it was a nuisance, because I figured if there was a book icon there ought to be something useful in the book. I copied the icon from the live cd, and got an icon. The problem seemed to be solved when I completely removed kubuntu-docs in synaptic and reinstalled it. I've been checking out quite a few Linux systems over the past few months, from Ubuntu, to gamer, Knoppix, Gentoo Mandriva, and fedora amongst others,- one of the reasons I kept reinstalling the system. You can't delete a partition with a default system without screwing grub right up. Most of them were installed over ultimate on grub. The bottom line is that ultimate has stayed my base system, perhaps the one I feel most comfortable with, and I'm glad you put the work in to get it running and keep improving it.. It has made Linux and Ubuntu easier to learn, because it is so interesting out of the box, now with gnome and kde there are more than enough options.Won't stop me playing with more - kde4 seems interesting. Ultimate makes Windows seem like a has been. The log on even inspired me to cut the HAL decommissioning scene in 2001 and make an avi file Titled Daisy. I've always loved the way HAL sings that song.

allright... i just have two questions:

1) i assume i follow the RAID instrudtions on the Live CD?

2) if i follow each command exactly besides the ones that are specific to the user, will i have a successful RAID-0 config?
