If I remember correctly from when my desktop was still in operation, there should be an option to "Guided Install - Use largest continuous free space". This should be the option you need to install Ubuntu for a dual-boot with WinXP. However, as with any case that deals with uncertainty, you may want to back up the data on your SATA drive's WinXP partition onto the IDE 40gig. If you are uncertain still, then you should be able to find certainty in the Ubuntu Wiki.
Good luck with your dual-booting experience. -- Ubuntu doesnt recognize further volumes created using windows xp on a sata disk https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/220128 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
