MBD modify for dual boot
 
I am going to install the newest version of Ubuntu on my computer. I am currently running Vista. I would like to be able to dual boot. I understand the whole partitioning deal and booting from the cd but i am worried that doing so will overwrite my Master Boot Record for windows. Do I need to modify the GRUB2 after installation. Read many writeups but was hoping for some input.

Thx

Yes it will overwrite the MBR, that is what it's supposed to do. It needs to replace the Windows bootloader with GRUB so that you can dual-boot.
