How can you install Windows XP if you already have Mandriva Linux?
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.
Can Windows XP be installed over an existing Windows XP installation?

What if e drive does not show on your computer?
Drive partitions and devices are allocated drive letters by Windows (other operating systems do not use drive letters). In order to allocate a drive letter to a drive, a partition or physical disc must exist for it. In the case of optical devices (CD/DVD/BluRay), a drive letter may be allocated to the device, but the device will not show up in the Computer folder until a disc is physically inserted. This can be changed by clearing the check mark in Folder Options | View | Hide empty drives in computer folder. Other removable devices will only show up when they are physically connected.If you're sure the device is connected but is still not showing up, use the Disk Management snap-in of the Computer Management console (right-click Computer, select Manage). This will list all connected hard-disks and their partitions. If a device is not listed, then it is either not connected or is not recognised -- it may be faulty. If the device is listed, check the partition status for a remedy. If a partition is unformatted, or is formatted in an unknown format, Windows will not assign a letter to it until it is formatted using NTFS (recommended) or FAT file systems. However all data will be lost when you format a partition.
How can you have Linux and Windows on your desktop computer?
There are two ways of doing this:Use a virtualization program such as VirtualBox to install run Linux and Windows side by side at the same time.Partition your hard drive and install Linux to an empty partition to set up a dual boot partition. Be careful with this option; you can damage your files if you make a mistake, but you'd get much better performance than if you took option one. See the related links for a good guide on how to do this.
Is is possible to install Linux Ubuntu with Windows XP in a separate partition?
Yes. By booting from the Live CD and selecting "Install alongside another operating system", Ubuntu will automatically create a new partition if there is a sufficient empty space in the HDD. Otherwise, the Partitions Manager will prompt you to select the size of the new Linux partition to remove from the original OS.
