Jerry is correct about using Partition Magic but Linux has a few free
Partition programs. You probably have just one partition ( Primary ) now on
the bigger 2nd hard drive. You will have to slice that up into at least two
more partitions, one for
your swap file ( page file) and one for root. The swap file could be just
2G. The root should be at least 5G. You could make
them both Primary partitions. You are allowed 4. Grub the Linux Boot
Loader will during the Kubuntu install add your
WinXP to the boot menu automatically. I like GParted or Partition Logic.

I am interested in Kubuntu linux but I don't know about installing it,
except
overwriting XP, which I don't want to do.
I have two hard drives, the first one it too small so I'm wondering if I
could create a small 20/25/30gb partion on the bigger 2nd drive but would
I
have to reformat the drive to partion it?
If yes, how would I go about partioning it, is there some Windows utility
to
do such thing?
Thanks in advance.
