I cant say enough about how great Linux is. I’ve put it on 3 laptops that were using XP but were not suitable (financially or technically) for Win7 upgrade.
Feeling confident,I tried to install Unbuntu on my new Laptop alongside its current Win8 and the hard drive crashed. Just wondering if anyone else had a problem similar to this??

Never saw your problem, but once I screwed up a dual boot install one time, but all it meant was that Windows was not bootable. Having said that, I never underestimate my chances for screwing something up so I always do a full backup before installing an updated OS.
