It's been awhile since I've been in the game.

Yes it will, but as I said in my other post about this, you won't get good performance because of the file system within a file system.

I guess I forgot to mention that my Ubuntu will be going onto another hard drive.

I never run 2 OS's on the same HDD.

Ah, that's a whole nother story then.

You'll have to either install a boot manager like grub.

Or edit your own boon.ini file.

The 9.04 install was relatively painless. GRUB seems to be working just fine, however, I need to edit it so that Ubuntu is my #2 choice and Vista is my #1 choice in the list.

Ok... Now I'm worried.

I installed the fglrx drivers and... well, now, the entire OS is a freakin slideshow :\

Do you know how to restore the OS?

What method did you use to install drivers?

Did you try the regular method on Ubuntu?

Have you taken a look at this guide?

It just said that these drivers are needed and I installed them. I did take a look afterwards and I have no clue what he means by "install ia32-libs if on a 64bit system."

Looks like I need to restore my install, eh? Linux is Latin to me, but once I get the hang of it.... I shouldn't have much problem afterwards.

So you just installed the drivers from the pop up Ubuntu gave you?

Yessir...

I can't believe I did that lol

From my previous Ubuntu experience (8.04 x64), installing drivers form the pop ups is bad.
