Update on my experiment with UBUNTU.
My computer HD is SATA (120GB)
The 2nd HD i have from my brother's computer is IDE (80GB)

After some web searching - i figured i would need an interface to get IDE to connect into SATA. But a guy at work suggested "Connect it up and see what happens - Backup first - but you should not damage anything - only confuse the crap out of the computer - then disconnect what you did and all should be as it was"

So here is what i did.
After some poking around with the computer, I have set the IDE drive as MASTER and connected it in the IDE port.
The SATA drive is connected as it was before.
I noticed when i did this that when i enter the Setup screen during boot, i can chose how to boot the comptuer ( like it has the Boot Menu Built IN already)

So i entered the LIVE CD and Booted to Ubuntu.
I selected to INSTALL and it asked me where to install it TO.
the 120GB Sata - or the 80GB IDE.
So i selected the 80GB IDE. ( full install - overright existing partitions ( already tool data off i wanted to))
Install went without a hitch.

Moment of truth - shutdown computer and restarted - hitting NOTHING - just letting it do its thing. Booted to the 120 SATA drive on Windows.

Restarted computer - this time entering the Boot Menu (F12 during startup)
Menu came up and i could Select the Primary IDE Drive to boot to.
BAM - there was UBUNTU.

So when my wife starts the computer - she sees the same things she always has - no change at all ( which is a PLUS)
When i want to boot to Ubuntu - i hot F12 during Boot - and select the other drive - and i get Ubuntu.

YEAH !!!!
So later today i will set up confgurations (wireless network - email - ect)
