Thread: Windows 7 and Ubuntu 10.04 from a PC that initially had Windows XP and Ubuntu 10.04

hi...

after while ago, whatever reason, windows decided give on me, leaving 192gb of hard drive's primary partition unusable. don't dislike not having windows on computer, have lot of programs use wine , playonlinux can't handle. not mention, reason, ubuntu can't pick full hardware capabilities.

now, clarify, have windows xp sp3 main os on main partition. hasn't worked little while. have ubuntu 10.04 on section of pc, taking 39 gb of hard drive space on separate partition. want install windows 7 on existing partition windows xp, without removing ubuntu computer. know if capable of doing safely? maybe have tutorial or how me out this? i've never attempted install windows 7 before, don't know in installation. imagining though, more powerful xp installation.

if has helpful tips, complete instructions or me, please let me know! love have end working again.

in advance.

is ubuntu on same disk plan on installing windows 7 ?

if so, that'll biggest issue, since windows bootloader overwrite grub meaning you'll need reinstall grub.

there many tutorials on installing windows after ubuntu, search 1 of them.
