It is using Ubunto version 9.04. I have another hard drive with Windows Xp Professional on it that i want to install as another drive. How would I go about doing this?

I would post a link to help you, but I am not familiar with the rules of the forum. I still can't post a link, but yolinux.com should have something in the tutorials section.

Hello,
You're in luck! I just found a fresh copy of the forum rules. It's a very short and sweet list...that makes them easier to remember.
