Here is another suggestion that might work--note that I say "might" work. Probably for the cost of Partition Magic you can buy an inexpensive new hard drive, say 100Gb or maybe smaller. Just put in a second Hard Drive and put Ubuntu on that. I believe that in the installation, it will write a boot loader so that you can pick which OS you want to use.

Anybody got any opinions about doing that? I am considering doing this on my current XP machine in which the hard drive is pretty full.
