You can use "WUBI Ubuntu installer" from http://wubi-installer.org/. It installs the most current version of Ubuntu as simple as installing a windows application.I would recommend this approach to anyone who is new to linux or looking for an easy installer.

Had dual boot with linux, lose my XP. I have the 5 cd recovery disk, but I can not install my XP back.

  • Hello charlieri_1, this happens often when installing 'new' OS, especially when creating a "Dual Boot." What you will have to do is a "Clean Install" starting from scratch; unfortunately! You will have to use the "Recovery Disk" to install Windows XP, first! Next, after you have restore the XP [OS]; then you will install the more "Updated" OS, [Linux] "This is just the Operating System way of order; oldest first, latest last, to properly install the OS. Hope this helps you, thanks paul7of9."

How to Install both XP and Linux?

Hi,
I would install XP 1st then Open suse or Ubuntu. When you install either of these linux OS's ensure you install to another partition other than the windows one. Both installation routines will allow you to format the drive to the linux ext2 format and automatically install a boot manager (usually GRUB) which will allow you to select the OS you wish to boot.

Problem installing OS in a newly assembled PC

Try installing first the windows xp.Make two apartments and install the Xp on the one.The other one format it,boot with the linux cd and try to install it to the empty apartment.Be sure that your system supports the linux kernel because some of the CPU brands don't support the linux OS;S.

Good Luck

Linux to xp

absolutely! all you need is your windows install CD and the installation will prompt you to select a partition, select your linux partition, delete it and start a new with XP. it's very easy.

Dear sir

Because your computer can only operate one operating system at a time. You can add both partitions to your computer but your computer can work with one partition on your hard drive at a time.

To run both at the same time you will need seperate computers. One for Windows and one for Linux, a network, and another computer with the desktop software so that you can access both systems.

It's the same configuration that companies manage them on.

About Linux fedora and XP

Without knowing more about your system, the key rule is to install XP first, then Fedora.
If that doesn't work then it's time to put more partitions on your hard drive, and install the 2 operating systems on different partitions, again, remembering that Windows XP has to be the first installed.

Dual Booting

possibly by first creating a new partition large enough for Linux OS, but does not solve your problem...try getting a VISTA startup disc from another pc (floppies if you have the drive) and startup from these.
