I've never installed Ubuntu (or any linux distro) on a hard drive before but now I want to install it on a partition and have a dual-boot setup with Windows 7 being on the C drive and Ubuntu on the other partition.
Will Ubuntu wipe the partition clean? Or can/will Ubuntu install without formatting it?
It's a 50GB partition, it doesn't have an OS installed on it but I have about 30GB's worth of data stored on it. Do I need to copy that data to a different drive temporarily then copy it back after Ubuntu is installed?
Thanks!
