How to dual boot Windows XP and Ubuntu
You want to install Linux on your system which is already running Windows XP. This tutorial has been tested on an AcerPower SK50 desktop system and a VMWare 6 virtual machine.
Download Ubuntu
The first thing is to make sure you have the Ubuntu Live CD. You can certainly use Ubuntu 7.04 for this tutorial instead and it should work pretty much the same. However, the screenshots won’t be the same and there may be some steps which don’t match.
Burn the ISO to a CD and you’re ready to go.
Prepare the XP System
Fortunately there’s almost no preparation needed from the perspective of the XP partition. Of course it needs sufficient space to install Ubuntu, and you can certainly create this space manually using either the latest version of the GNOME Partition Editor (available here), or use the application from the Ubuntu Live CD.
