Of course you need to partition your drive. If you already have installed Windows XP You need to make a new partition for win98 formated FAT32.
WinXP use NTFS formatting.
you need to create a partition on your hard drive then put 7 on the partition and then get easy bcd 1.7.2
Yes. To achieve this, you need to shrink the window partition so there is space for the Linux partition on the disk.
Unless you already have a free partition on your hard drive or an additional hard drive, you cannot install Red Hat Enterprise Linux without "disturbing" Windows; you will need to resize the Windows partition to make room.
Yes, you can. You will need to partition your hard drive because Linux has to be installed in a separate volume. I would install windows first and then Ubuntu.
Nope - to recover your Windows 7 system - you need to use the recovery partition on the hard-drive.
You cannot format the drive / partition that Windows Vista is currently running on while it is running. You will need to boot from either a partition utility disc, such as GParted, or the install disc of the operating system you want to install, and format the drive from there.
partition
You need to create a partition on your hard drive. You can then install separate OS on each partition. Run BIOS to select which partition to boot from.
To do that, you need to create two separate partitions on your hard drive and choose a free partition during the OS installations.
Yes you can. I am currently using a 2010 iMac, and on my bootcamp partition I have windows 7. When you are logged in the mac partition you can see the bootcamp partition and copy and paste files. I m not sure if you need to install NTFS-3G on mac. Anyway it's free and I suggest you to install it. From windows 7 you should see your machintosh hard drive ( mine is called machintosh) from there you browse usr/username/ ... there you'll find all your folders ) ;)
If you wish to keep Mandriva, and you do not have an empty space available on the hard drive, you will need to shrink Mandriva's partition, using a partition editor like GParted. Windows will only install to the first partition of the drive, though the partition can be moved. So you will need to shrink Mandriva's partition from the end, towards the beginning of the partition, and then move it towards the end of the drive. Move the swap partition as well. You can then create an NTFS partition, or use the Windows installer to do so. After Windows has been installed, boot from a Mandriva LiveCD, and enter the following commands: grub root (hdx,x) setup (hdx) quit For "root (hdx,x)", the first x is for the hard drive number. If you have only one hard drive, this will be 0. For the second x, use whatever partition Mandriva is installed on. If it is the third partition, use "2". If it is the second, use 1. If it is the fourth, use 3, and so on. For "setup (hdx)", use the number of the hard drive you want the MBR (Master Boot Record) written to. If you have only one hard drive, this will be 0.
Fdisk. Windows 98 cd's are not bootable (for the most part) so in order to partition a new hard disk in preparation of a windows 98 install, you will need to make a boot floppy (or boot CD, or USB) which will enable you to partition and format the disk for windows install. Follow the link below for some disk images, utilities, and workarounds for the windows 98 bootdisk dilemma.
