You have a couple of options:

1) When using the Desktop CD, when you get to the final step prior to clicking the installation, click the advanced button and tell it not to install GRUB. If you do not install GRUB then you will have to manually edit your Vista bootloader information.

2) Install Kubuntu utilizing Wubi from the Desktop CD. Insert the Desktop CD into your CDROM drive while Vista is running. The autorun should kick in and bring you to a main window. From there you could select the Wubi stuff. This will install Kubuntu to a virtual partition that is created with Wubi. Wubi will even edit your Vista bootloader for you. Wubi will install Kubuntu on your Vista box just like you would install any other piece of software. So removal is as easy as doing the Uninstall stuff for Vista.

Hi, Where is my Suse? I have a second drive along my 1st drive with win xp on first base, thus installed opensuse on my second drive, after I restarted the machine, wind xp seemed gone and suse being ignored. After reconfig the bios and resetting reconfiguration, wn xp is back and both drives are recognized. However how do I start opensuse?
