Hi!
The installation wiki is very comprehensive. thanks for that.
I think I'm going to use Ubuntu one for backing up. it sounds like drop
box, except more compatible with Ubuntu itself.
Thanks man. get some rest, i hope the pain goes away soon. it sucks
specially if when theres lots of typin to do.

Hi Ali
Hi Hadi,
Thanks for your mail!
Anytime :)
So I'll just install Ubuntu gnome with grub without worrying about
the boot loader.
Yes. Whenever you install Ubuntu or any of its official variants, just
make sure to install GRUB into the MBR of your HDD. This is the best
way ever. I have done 1000s of installations in 4 years and I always
do that and always choose 'Something Else' to take more control over
the installation process ;)
As long as you have backed up your important files, worry not :)
I have sent you two good links, have a look and bookmark these for
future reference.
i don't think I'm going to uninstall it soon, but i will
probably reinstall it for the 14.4 update when it comes out.
Re-installing Linux doesn't need anything else except formatting the
root partition and if my memory still remember correctly, it is also
safe to keep /home without formatting but I have seen some people
reporting some kind of settings problems but that was long ago. To
play it safe make sure to backup. Did I mention to backup? :P
P.S, sorry for not being able to quote as you do in mails, i have
no idea how to do it with my Screen-Reader. could be a drag and
drop operation maybe.
I will teach you that later. I am writing this with a strong pain in
neck and shoulder. Don't worry about that now :)
If you have any other Q, let us know :)

Hello
Hi,
I'm running Ubuntu gnome on vmware currently, but i decided
to duel boot it on my laptop which is running windows 7.
I have duel booted Linux and windows before, but last time
that i did it, i couldn't bring back window's boot back, and
grub keep coming up even after i have removed my Linux
installation.
Is it possible to not install grub and use window's booter to
boot into windows and linux?
It is very easy to restore the MBR and enable Windows Boot Loader
to take control.
I have made a Dual-Booting guide which is 3-4 years old now
(Ubuntu 10.04 and Windows XP) and I have discussed all these
possibilities but I will not confuse you and post it here :)
Just install GRUB to the MBR of your HDD and if you ever decided
to remove Linux, we can help you with restoring your MBR ;)
