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.
Yes, you can. You can run Linux and windows using a boot manager called grub. You can also do this on a mac. Grub allows you to run multiple systems on one machine, although it can be confusing to install for the basic user.
GRUB is a bootloader. Most Linux distributions use it, though with UEFI becoming more and more prevalent, some users are abandoning GRUB in favor of simply allowing UEFI to load their kernel directly.
Yes, 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.
Yes. To achieve this, you need to shrink the window partition so there is space for the Linux partition on the disk.
grub ana LILO are the two boot loader in Linux
GRUB error 15 is caused by the specified kernel or initrd not existing at the specified location. For instance, if the entry tries to load linux-2.6.22-18, but only linux-2.6.22-16 is present, Linux will not boot.
Ubuntu( linux Operating System)
Yes, it's called dual-boot. Be sure to have Windows installed first so your Linux installer might be able to pick it up and put it in the bootloader, not to mention to keep GRUB from getting overwritten by a monopolistic bootloader by Windows.
Grub Some times SysLinux, IsoLinux and other ***Linux Rarely LILO
GRUB error 22 is usually caused by deleting the partition that stage 2 of GRUB was stored on. You need to create a new partition and reinstall Linux in order to boot it again.
U-Boot is not actually part of Linux; it is a separate project. It is a bootloader, much like GRUB, often used in embedded devices.
