Hi, I have an automatic install of Ubuntu EMC2 on one computer which has two partitions on the drive - a /boot and a /swap. I would like to put in a second drive on which I already have a windows XP installation and make the machine dual booting with Ubuntu as the default. However, I am not sure how to configure it to do so. I thought it would just be a simple matter of altering the Grub menu.lst file and /etc/fstab to point to the second drive's boot sector but I can't see any way to alter them as they are both read only and I can't figure out how to change the permissions. Can someone please give me an idiots guide as to how to do it or should I seek an alternative way - maybe install VMware and persuade it to see the windows drive - again though I would need to get at fstab or mtab to get ubuntu to see the 2nd drive - dohhh! my fuddled brain hurts.....
