DONT DO IT JAMIE! DOOOONNNNTTTT

Ubuntu ran good from the CD, but after installing, I got screwed there, luckily i installed on a external HDD, Parition your HD to like 100 gig for linux and the other for file storage if you want to use it as a HDD still, otherwise if you partition the entire drive and install linux over it all, then your screwed, cause it's file format will be unrecognized by windows as a external HDD. I am using the entire HDD because i myself dont use it as a external drive much at all, i will warn you though, if you do this, it will rewrite your master boot record with GRUB loader, if you dont have your HDD plugged in, then your PC wont load windows XP or linux, the only way to fix this is to redo the boot record with your XP cd and type fixmbr it will say danger, may screw blah blah, hit yes and it will instantly say mbr restored, restart and windows will load right away.......or delete GRUB and use your LiveCD from linux, as a boot disc, your PC will load the disc then you can install, partion, or boot linux from a HDD of your choice...I like this better because when i dont have my HDD plugged in, it loads window, when i do, it will ask if i want to load linux...very helpful...oh and with ubuntu, I hated it, I use suse now, it rox.
