Ubuntu Installation without erasing Windows

Date January 18, 2007

I have been joking recently that I would love to run Ubuntu and Windows in a situation akin to the Mac/Windows relationship possible through Parallels.

Trouble is I don’t want to erase my current Windows installation.

I have Ubuntu installed on a laptop, VMWare server brought in (see earlier posts), and Windows XP Home SP2. Works nicely!

Now onto my desktop, where I have had Windows XP Pro running for years. I have three hard drives, with over 150GB of used space of stuff I don’t want to lose. It’s the digital archive of my life. Needless to say, this article caught my attention.

The homepage for the Prototype project will tell you more about this idea. For more opinion, go read the Cybernet news article mentioned above.

I might try this! If I get brave, I’ll keep you posted on the progress!
