using two different os
How can you combine linux operating and other operating system to work on thesame system?
|
How? Depends on what you mean.
If you mean combine two systems into a single system; no, it cannot be done. If you mean have two systems on the same computer; the hard-drive must be divided into partitions and the systems installed on separate partitions. Or one system can be on the internal hard-drive and a second system can be put on an external drive. I would advise doing some reading about partitioning and dual-booting before trying it. |
I think you are trying something like dual boot... right?
If yes, check here. |
Using GRUB 2.0 this can be achieved .
GRUB searches for all bootable images on the hard disk and asks which one to boot . PS - You need different partitions for different images , otherwise you'll end up with sumthing wierd . Also BACKUP IMPORTANT DATA before trying to achieve something. Also read , http://http://www.dedoimedo.com/computers/grub-2.html |
I see you're running XP. Here's briefly what you need to do for dual-booting with Linux:
1: Disable page file. Right click My Computer => Properties => Advanced => Performance: Settings => Advanced => Virtual memory: Change => check No paging file => click Set => OK => OK => OK 2: Reboot. 3: Defragment. 4: Resize. Use partitioning software on any live Linux CD or DVD. Leave unallocated space. Use actual installation CD or DVD to create and format Linux partitions. 5: Restore page file. 6: Restart with whatever distro. |
