How to install Dual Operating System?

Asked By dlanear 5 points N/A Posted on - 09/26/2011

Hi,

Can you please help me. I have a single Hard Disk with 2 partitions. My computer has a 2GB RAM and 2.4 clockhertz.

I already installed Windows XP.

But some of the applications are not working properly.

I ask my friend about this and he told me to install different OS. Now I want to install Ubuntu 11.04.

Is there any compatibility issues I might encounter?

Do I have to back up fist my files before installing this OS?

Please help me.

Thanks you in advance.

I would appreciate if you can show me steps on how to do this.
