I have recently got an Alienware M17x R4 and since it has two hard drive bays I was thinking of putting my hard drive from my old laptop and installing Ubuntu on it without making any changes to the drive that has Windows on it. Also if possible to add a entry to the Windows boot loader to boot Ubuntu instead of using GRUB.
