I have 2 hard drives and it appears that windows is installed on sdb1, however i wish to install ubuntu (lubuntu with unity) on sda, sda1 or sda2 im not sure of. i unplugged sdb and windows loader still appeared and said windows was not working, which means windows loader is installed on sda1 which has 104MB, does this mean i can install ubuntu straight onto sda2? and what about "device for boot loader installation" do i have to change that option? -just to make clear i want windows boot loader so i can decide which OS to chose, which means i don't want windows harmed at all. is this possible?
thank you.
NTLDR
(if Windows XP) orbootmgr
(vista or newer) in any partition? That should be your system partition, alternatively from Windows disk-management check for boot(installation) and system(loader) partition.sda1
is the system partition andsdb1
is the boot partition for Windows. You should be able to install Ubuntu onsda2
and can also install GRUB(Ubuntu's bootloader) onsda
orsdb
, you'll be able to choose Windows to boot from GRUB menu once it's installed. GRUB detects existing Windows installation and includes it in the menu.
