Not really, no! Leave disk 2 attached. Boot off a LiveCD to the desktop. Repartition as I described using GParted. THEN run the install program and pick "do something else", i.e. the custom partitioning option, and choose the 3 partitions you just created. Then just continue as normal. No cable-fiddling needed. -- Liam Proven • Profile: http://lproven.livejournal.com/profile Email: lpro...@cix.co.uk • GMail/G+/Twitter/Flickr/Facebook: lproven MSN: lpro...@hotmail.com • Skype/AIM/Yahoo/LinkedIn: liamproven Tel: +44 20-8685-0498 • Cell: +44 7939-087884 -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/
