How to Install Ubuntu Server Edition to Secondary Hard Drive with dual boot status?
I received the requested Ubuntu Server Edition Bootable Disk today. Thanks Canonical for that.
Just after received the disk I tried to install it on my computer. But I had to stop at partitioning stage. Because I want to install it while keeping my existing Windows XP OS and NOT SHARING the same partition for Ubuntu Linux. I want to install Ubuntu on my secondary hard drive where I reserved a maiden logical drive just for Ubuntu.
I went through some Ubuntu litrature to find out how can I do that. But I could not find a solution.
In short I want to install Ubuntu on seperate partition on seperate hard drive other than the existing operating system with Dual boot status.
My PC's partition information is as follows.
Disk #1
Drive C: 39.60 GB NTFS Windows System
Drive E: 29.30 GB NTFS
Drive F: 29.30 GB NTFS
Drive G: 19.53 GB NTFS
Drive H: 19.53 GB NTFS
Drive I: 12.32 GB NTFS
Disk #2
Drive D: 15.84 GB NTFS Expected to install Ubuntu
Drive j: 9.32 GB FAT32
Drive K: 7.45 GB NTFS
Drive L: 5.68 GB NTFS
Please explain me how to install Ubuntu as I wish with Dual Boot status.
Thanks in advance.
