Hi,

Im sorry I don't know where is the right place for this post so I put it here.

I just learned dual booting last two days ago. I successfully dual booted my Toshiba satellite A200 laptop with Vista/Xp. After numbers of trials. I want to add ubuntu on the list. I used the vista disk management to partition my drive. Here is the outcome:

Vista on drive C: (obviously)
Data on drive G:
windows XP on drive D:
and hopefully ubuntu on drive E: (Blank at this time)

I wonder if it is possible to install ubuntu in my present disk partitions. If no please give me some advice and instructions.

Im hoping for your kind response.

Thank you,

Yes you can install Ubuntu on that partition just fine. But i am wondering how you got XP to install on a partition that was not a primary partition. Windows wont allow for that. Are you sure that you do not have XP installed on the G Drive?
 
thanks for the reply.

@terry, I took that screenshot using XP OS disk management. Drive C: is marked active in Vista Disk management.

@makaveli, thanks for the answer. Yes I'm sure i installed XP (SP2) on drive D:. Is there a link for ubuntu installation tutorial that you can give me?
