[QUOTE="OnOff, post: 305997, member: 16173"] Thanks. OK, I'm taking the Ubuntu "leap"......been putting it off (scared mainly). Watched a YouTube tutorial etc & just downloading the ISO image to make the disc and something called Infraburner ! There'll be questions! :lol: And here's the first ones......... 1) So you're saying I can copy my files under Ubuntu from the HDD whilst it's still in the laptop onto say an external USB HDD? 2) Tempted by this upgrading to Ubuntu permanently. The GUI on YouTube looks really good for a start. The (Samsung) laptop didn't for a start come with a copy of Windows 7 (and I never made any recovery discs either). Assuming then that I can install Ubuntu onto the laptop I'll lose Windows 7? 3) If, and I'm getting ahead of myself here I was to look into a "dual boot" scenario does that mean I'll have two partitions........one with Ubuntu on and the other with Windows 7? Do I have to start from scratch to do this dual boot thing? I'd like say Windows on one partition, Ubuntu on another and the rest (3rd partition) as one big disc.......... 4) A bit concerned I might lose my Samsung drivers if I upgrade to Ubuntu permanently!
