I'm thinking of switching to Ubuntu Fiesta Fawn (I have an install disk), but I have some questions. I would be using it on a Dell Dimension 2400. I don't have my Windows XP reinstall disk, and my comp's out of warranty (so I can't get a new install disk free), so I was thinking of perhaps using Wubi, but I've heard it doesn't play well with NTFS hard drives. Both my portable hard drive and internal hard drive are NTFS, and I have absolutely no idea how to change that. If I installed Wubi on my portable hard drive and had problems, would it corrupt my internal hard drive as well? Would it destroy my portable hard drive? Thanks for the help.
