Hey guys,

I'm getting back in the PC game next week when my parts come and I need a little advice.

Want my rig to dual boot to Windows 7 and Ubuntu. What I'd like to do (if this is correct) is have 2 drives in my computer, one for Win 7 and one for Linux so I can keep things separate. Will this work?

Seem to be finding mixed advice as to how to go about this (Ubuntu install first, Win 7 first, etc).

Thanks!

Yup, it'll work :)

Install 7 first on the first drive then ubuntu on the 2nd drive with grub on the 1st drive, also known as /dev/sda.

I'd suggest nvidia graphics, it works better.

What kind of parts did you get?

Good luck :)

ATI drivers tend to be somewhat problematic, but I'm sure you'll be able to get it running just fine.

linux_0's suggestion is what I would have suggested as well :)

Good luck! Let us know if you need any more help :)
