If you want to have each OS on its own disk and don't need to be able to access one disk from the other, rather than pulling out the power cable, pull out the data cable, or both. Even better, just disable a disk in the bios.

Why didnt you just install it into a Virtual Machine?

It would be safer

virtual machines aren't that slow. They are a bit slower yes but they are indeed safer.

* L. Coyote runs Ubuntu full install process.

* L. Coyote gets to decide!

A) This is the easiest road, you idiot!!!! Pick THIS!!!
B) This is a very tough road, you suck and will mess up by picking this. Only choose this if you want to spend countless hours swearing at your stupidity.

* L. Coyote picks B.

* L. Coyote pets backups.

Anyway, if I had picked A, it would have ended in half an hour.

Now I've got Ubuntu and XP... But damn I'm such an idiot!

Now I've got to reinstall SP2 and set up the ASDL on Ub.

Reason to install Ub: Because I fucking wanted to! :refuck:

Nice

Oh and BTW I finally managed to install Ubuntu with out screwing my XP. I had to unplug the XP hard drive and install Ubuntu then plug the XP HD back in and now I use my BIOS for a boot loader

Worked good.
