What are the steps to reformat your hard drive and re-install vista? (w/ a partition for Ubuntu)?

(w/ a partition for Ubuntu) I'm not going to install Ubuntu right away, but it should be set up to do so in the future. Any pitfalls here? Was unable to find a good how-to online, but feel free to send me the link if you know of one.

Install Windows first, then Linux I’m a bit rusty coz I don’t use Linux anymore, but the easiest thing to do is pop your Vista disc in the drive and boot from it. Go through the various steps and tell it you want to do a clean install of Vista. Allow it to format the entire hard drive and continue the installation as normal.

Before installing Ubuntu, be sure to defrag your hard drive. Later, boot from the Ubuntu disc and you will have the option to use the entire disc or to create partitions for Ubuntu. As you’ll obviously want to choose the latter, you’ll need to specify how big you want your Windows partition to be, and therefore use the remainder for Linux.

Installing Linux first, then Windows, is not recommended. It may not even be possible. Install Windows first and don't worry about partitions until you decide to install Ubuntu..

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
