    Dual Booting Q's from a noob

    lol, I probably sound stupid but ima rise through everything that i try really. I am an extremely quick learner and i understand most things about computers, but nothing about Linux or Dual-Booting.

    I need to ask a few questins as i go along in this, but my first one is.

    If i install Kubuntu, i understand ISO bruning and that, no problems with that, will windows Vista still be my primary OS. I don't quite understand how the 2 OS work together as such, but if any1 could outline how they work and if theres like a primary and secondary level of the 2 OS's.

    Your primary OS would be the one that you have GRUB set to boot by default. In other words, if you made no selection from the GRUB boot menu at boot time, it would boot to the one you have set as the default OS.

    You set GRUB to boot Windows or Linux by default, or you can make a selection between the two at boot time.

    Here's a GRUB tutorial that explains how GRUB works:
