I’m pretty much impressed with the stability of Windows 7. It is better than windows Vista which hogs my memory and cpu.*.’

I’ve done this thousands of times already, it worked every time. I did mess with the GRUBloader, so I only see 2 options (4 on my desktop PC, 7+Ubuntu+Gentoo+Arch).
This tutorial explains exactly what to do, and it’s followable. Thank you to help the beginners/noobs in this.

Old Leafs – The experience has been fine.
My laptop I use for work, and have to work primarily within the Windows environment. But whenever I’m programming, I’m using Ubuntu.

One thing I love is that both operating systems can be put into ‘hibernation’ / ‘sleep’ modes and when you wake the machine up, whichever you choose to boot from will work

I am also planning on this type of install on a new build. How has the experience been so far. Also, thank you for your blog.

blog2man – I’ve not installed Ubuntu first, and then windows 7. In a lot of the earlier versions of Ubuntu, it was always found to be easier to install windows first, because linux plays better with windows, than windows does with linux.

Back up your data, wipe the drive, install windows 7, and then Ubuntu.

Failing that: What specific problems are you having dual booting?

I’m genuinely surprised that you didn’t know that AMD64 is the generic name for any 64/32 hybrid processor system. Even MS labelled their folders this in XP x64.
