Installing Windows Xp over Ubuntu on Dell Laptop

Asked by davids355 in Ubuntu, PC Laptops

Tags: , , ,

I have a Dell Inspiron 6400 Laptop and it came pre-installed with Ubuntu Linux. I am thinking about installing Windows XP (from scratch). The thing Im worryed about is that the laptop has a restore partition whereby I can re-install linux in 10 minutes (I quess this runs on something similar to ghost).

I am wondering, does anyone know if it will be possible to install XP over linux, but keep the recovery partition intact so I could have the option to reinstall linux at a later date if I wish?Start Free Trial
