Most Linux OS's walk you through dual booting. Choose your prefered Linux OS and burn it to a disc and run it. You could also partition your hard drive from the XP side and create a space for your Linux OS to run in. If you are new to Linux, it is recomended to run the OS without actually installing it, that way you can get the feel of Linux without completely installing it.
Install XP Install VMWare Client. If your CPU is 32-bit, get version 3. Download a Linux .iso Run VMWare to create a virtual machine running Linux Dual boot is old school.
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. All you have to do is give Linux its own partition.
No.
You don't, it comes pre-installed.
Buy and boot from a Windows XP cd.
..I was install both Windows XP and Linux(Fedora).in our system.But after some time I was formett my XP..then a problem occure..Linux Optin was lost at startng time.. so..Plz You suggest me how can i solve this problem in easy steps.......
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.
look in your users manual
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.
Windows XP is not in the direct upgrade path of Red Hat Linux 8.0. If you want to install Windows XP on a computer / server with RHL, you need to check the hardware specifications to see if Windows XP supports it.
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.
