I want to dual boot linux and windows 7, but im not sure the best of way of doing this. Should i just partition? Or should i pop in my old 40GB HD?
Also, can someone explain any issues there may be?
partitioning in my experience makes it easier not to make mistakes during installation
Well from my experience, it doesn't make a difference. It's just either a new logical drive or a new physical drive. At least that's how I did it.
I just shrink the Windows partition, since most of my machines only have one harddrive, my laptop being an exception to this.
okay, i figured. Can i set windows to be automatically selected in GRUB if i dont select ubuntu?
yes

it's somewhere in menu.list or whatever I don't remember the actual setting though

Isn't menu.lst in grub legacy? And grub.cfg in grub2?

You are right.

I mean grub2 vs legacy. in any case, I haven't messed with grub since I last reformatted, I'm bound to make little mistakes occasionally
