OR should i say what the heck and just put ubuntu on the new drive after running checks with the live disk?
Yes :-) I put up with dual booting for years before dedicating one computer to each OS I wanted to run. That does take up desk space though.
I did that for a while using an X server on the Windows box so I could see my Linux desktop on my Windows machine, saves space at least.
However I now run my Windows machine in Vmware on Linux, saves space, saves hardware, has big advantages in being able to copy things (both files and Cut/Paste) between the two systems.
Starting from scratch now I think I'd choose VirtualBox instead of Vmware.
