Hi,
Just bought a HP G71 laptop with Windows7 already installed, no discs included. I created backup/ recovery/ restore DVD's as directed.
I want to have Linux.Ubuntu 9.10 be my primary OS and in the first partition on the drive for maximum speed . . . and W7 installed in a partition further out.
QUESTIONS:
1. Can Ubuntu be installed first . . . then W7 (recovery discs)?
2. Or must I install W7 system first?
3. Then can I migrate W7 further out and Ubuntu in pole position?
4. Can they share the same SWAP and storage partitions?
Any assistance is appreciated
Thank you,
