I already have 2 computers each with Windows Vista and XP Prof and I would like to add Linux as secondary OS and be able to select the OS during the boot sequence.

What is a simpler way to do this? ..that is without formatting Hard disk or re-installing Windows?

Thanks in advance!

I originally had Windows 7, then due to a registry error, it messed up and wouldn’t boot again. I used the Mandriva Linux install disc to format the hard drive but now when I boot the computer with the Windows 7 install disc, it does not acknowledge the disc (even though it is set to read the disc from the BIOS). It simply continues straight to the Linux OS. It is not a disc issue either as I have back-ups.
Thanks in advance.

Alack, alack, is it not that I,
So early waking, what with loathsome smells,
And skrieks like mandrakes torn out of the earth,
That living mortals, hearing them, run mad -
O, if i wake, shall I not be distraught,
Environed with all these hideous fears,
And madly play with my forefathers’ joints,
And pluck the mangled Tybalt from his shroud,
And, in this rage, with some great kinsman’s bone,
As with a club, dash out my desp’rate brains?
O look, methinks I see my cousin’s ghost
Seeking out Romeo that did spit his body
Upon a rapier’s point! Stay, Tybalt, stay!
Romeo, Romeo, Romeo! Here’s drink.
I drink to thee.

I bought a Compaq the other day, and almost everything was fine but Vista. So I decided to look for something better. I’m going to be doing some image editing, surfing, etc. I also need multiple desktops. Any opinions on the best Linux OS for me?

Hi,

I’m thinking of partitioning my hard-drive so I can switch between Linux and my current OS, Vista, but I fear I may lose data from my Documents folder. and if my older brother finds out I completely switched to Linux or trashed Vista he’s gonna kill me!

So, can I lose any vital data when I partition my hard-drive?

Linux, or even apps such as open office would cut costs tremendously.

I bought a Acer Aspire 5004 NWLMI. Windows XP Professional is already installed. I downloaded the RHEL 4(AS) from a torrent site. I then burned the image to the cd using Nero 7. And when i boot the using the CD, the following things happen (the problem is the last thing)
1. it show ISO Linux 2.xx and boots the system
2. Then it show Redhat Enterprise Linux
- To Install or Upgrade in graphical mode, press enter key
-……………
3. I chose the enter key
4. Then it says loading vmlinuz…………
Loading initrd.img………………………
Then it detects all hardware and harddisk….(All the harddisk and the dvd drive is detected.)
5. Then it continues to the last stage saying
loading /sbin/install
running installer
loading /sbin/loader
after that the screen turns black the system stops responding…… There is no harddisk activity nor cd activity in the system.
What should i do? i tried booting the system using linux dd, linux noprobe…. but the same result…
Please help

Im totaly new to linux.

Hello,
I have Windows vista installed on my laptop. I have some free space to install SuSE Linux 10,
I’ve done a dual boot configuration before but the problem is that the linux GURB boot loader become the machine default loader and when I for any reason decide to to delete the linux I’ll lose my windows , is there ant way I can install SuSE Linux without changing the boot order? I mean that the windows boot first with an option to pick the Linux like installing Vista and Xp as dual boot.

Thanks
