Can I install Linux ??????????
I have a PC with the following config:
* Drive 1 (C) - IDE - not used but accessible * Drive 2 (D) - SATA - Windows XP Pro, programs, data * Drive 3 (E) - SATA - Windows backup of Drive 2. * DVD/CD Drive (F) RAID is available but not active. * 1 Gb RAM Some time ago I tried to install Redhat and screwed up my whole system requiring a total rebuild - took days !!!!!!! I could not boot to Windows, could not get past Linus loading, could not access any drives !!!! My question is.... can I install Linux (which product ???) without risking loss of my Windows XP on Drive 2. Do I need to redefine my hard drives; Do I need to reinstall Windows XP on Drive 1 (C)? Does Linux install to SATA drives - perhaps I could install Linux on Drive 3 (E) - OR I could move XP to Drive C and place Linux on Drive D, I need to keep Win XP because other members of my family rely on it for their work and study. Sound advice will be greatly appreciated and most welcomed. Andrew. |
