Hi Hanusz,

Thank you for all your information....I downloaded the ubuntu to cd but still havent installed it on the system....I was just wandering if there will be an option to save all the Windows system internally in case I botch up the ubuntu install just in case I have to fall back and recover as this laptop is all I have...Larry <email address hidden>

Do you mean you want to dual boot ? (you then have an option at the beginning of the booting to choose to start Windows or Ubuntu)
more information about that here:

Whatever you choose, It is a good idea to make a backup of all your important information on removable media (cd-r /dvd-r)
