my computer mobo died, but luckily since i have ubuntu :) i could buy another computer and put my nice sata drive in it and start it right up. the computer i bought (new) had come with windoze 7 on a 500gb drive. i disconnected it. - can i put the windoze 7 sata drive on an external enclosure and then, boot the computer in ubuntu and access the external drive and boot the windoze (so we can access the media center functions) ? OR -can i make a dual boot out of the windoze drive without destroying the media functions, so that when i boot up, i can choose which to boot into? i like the first choice because it seems easier, if less elegant. :) thank you all for any help, remember i am the technically challenged list member - keep it s simple as possible. -- betty i. www.webcanine.com information for people who care for dogs. --------------------------------------------------- PLUG-discuss mailing list - PLUG-discuss@lists.plug.phoenix.az.us To subscribe, unsubscribe, or to change your mail settings: http://lists.PLUG.phoenix.az.us/mailman/listinfo/plug-discuss
