I am not exactly a linux newby but I am to these forums. I am using Ubuntu 11.04
can anyone tell me how or if I can install windows XP on a 2nd disk keeping windows separate to Ubuntu disk> I should know but have forgotten about it . I do have to put windows on as I need drawing programs that will not run under Wine efficiently
Thank you very much for any help you can give. regards Donald. |
Windows won't install on a secondary disk - not like you want anyway.
Simplest is to disconnect the Linux disk, and do the XP install. Put the Linux disk back, and run update-grub (sudo for Ubuntu). That way you *know* nothing can go wrong. Else just change the BIOS boot order to ensure the XP disk is first. That should be safe too. |
Hi Donald,
You might want to use a better title for your threads; one that gives information about your question. In this case "How do I install Windows on a second harddisk" would be a better bet. What "drawing program" do you need and are you sure there isn't a linux equivalent? In most cases there is. ciao, jdk |
Thank you jdkaye for you helpful reply .
in my defence I wrote for the first time and rather than straight to the thread as I said I am new to this forum. and took a short cut to my problem at the same time. in future I will direct my questions Or threads more precisely thank you once again and I trust to be able to talk to you more often. regards donald |
