Linux runs on a large variety of hardware. Windows will only run on hardware with an x86-compatible processor (Core 2, Xeon, Athlon 64 X2, etc...). Also, even the Professional edition of Xp will only scale to two physical processors. So much of your computing power will likely go to waste. To use all of the processors, you need Windows Server 2003 or higher.

∙ 14y agoYes, you can. But no in the same logical partition. But it's not easy, because you will have to edit boot.ini file manually which is not trivial. It's better to install Xp and then Linux.

You bought a new computer with Vista pre-installed you were not happy with Vista so you bought a new hard drive and installed Windows XP Pro on it Now your computer will no longer go on standby?
Sounds like a problem with Windows XP. What you should have tried to do is take the original hard drive, put in the xp install disk, to the install, choose to format the hard drive, and then continue with the XP install. BTW: XP > Vista. Linux > XP. You should install Linux, instead of XP.
If you are dual-booting Windows XP and Linux how can you reinstall XP without interrupting Linux?
Before you format xp you will need to go onto Linux and create a grub boot disk by typing grub-install /dev/fd0. This will create a floppy disk which you can use to start Linux after you have removed and reinstalled xp. After removing and reinstalling xp use the disk to get back onto Linux and use grub-install /dev/hda to restore the Linux boot screen.

Where you can find a Linux Distribution?
Linux is not an operating system by itself. Just like you cannot install Windows you have to install Windows XP or Windows Vista. You can use the website in related links to find a list of active Linux Distributions. If I could recommend one I would recommend Linux Mint because it is easy to use.
