Re: Dual booting Win XP and Ubuntu

Yes, it works perfectly out of the box.  The installer will offer to 
shrink the windows partition and install ubuntu to the free space.  You 
will then have the option at boot time to choose which OS to load.

Hi folks;
I have a HP Pavillion zd8000 laptop that I use as my main "desktop" and 
I would like to be able to use it with Ubuntu, but also keep a WinXP 
install available for playing games. Is it easy to do this without 
losing my current XP install?
Does the Ubuntu install process have the ability to configure dual 
booting? I remember reading back in the mists of time that XP didn't 
like sharing with other operating systems.
Thanks for any pointers;
 - Phil.
