Two OS's

[T0M0]

Hi,

I am currently running Windows 7 64 bit on my new computer. However, for my university course I need to be able to use Ubuntu.

So I have downloaded Ubuntu 32 bit (couldn't find a 64 bit version on their site) and mounted it onto a bootable DVD.

Is there anyway I can partition space on my 500gb hard drive so I can run two OS's? For example, allocate 420gb to my Windows partition and 80 gb to my Linux partition?

Thanks,
Tom

I installed it on my hard drive, so now when I boot up I get an option to run Ubuntu or Windows.

However, I booted up Ubuntu, typed in my password that I set up in installation, but as soon as I got to the desktop, my mouse and keyboard stopped working? They are just plug and play USB ones?

Anyone had this issue before?

Ok, maybe I should do that?

Is it easy to wipe the Ubuntu partition off my drive without effecting Windows files?

Cheers for the responses.

Yeah, would somebody be able to move this to Linux section? Thanks!
