Theoretically, almost any two operating systems can be dual-booted. The only requirement is that you have a bootloader that is capable of either loading multiple kernels, or can chainload another bootloader.
All the OS are compatible with dual OS.but here i will suggest you keep it parallel.
You can have more than one operating system installed on a computer at a time. Dual boot allows you the choose which system you want to use. With dual boot enabled, when you turn on your PC it will give you a choice of operating systems.
You can dual-boot virtually any operating system with Vista.
You do not have to dual-boot. This is a choice of practicality. Many people dual-boot to get the most functionality out of each operating system without having to purchase multiple computers. Running additional operating systems via another method, such as virtualization, can often impair the operating system's performance or capabilities.
Dual-boot means to have more than one operating system installed on your hard drive, and to switch between them when you start your computer.
Dual booting is not restricted to Linux. Dual booting refers to the presence of two operating systems on one computer. Switch/choice between these operating systems is determined at boot time (either via bios or boot manager), therefore only one operating system is at use at a time.
You are given a choice of which operating system to boot into (you can only use one OS at a time).
Installing two operating systems on one PC is possible, but it requires that you set up a dual boot system. This means that you can switch between the two operating systems when you boot up your computer, which can be useful if you use different programs on different operating systems. To set up a dual boot system, you need to prepare your computer by partitioning the hard drive and creating separate drive volumes for each operating system. This can be done in Windows using the Disk Management utility, or you can use a third-party partitioning tool. Once the partitions are set up, you can install the operating systems one at a time, ensuring that you boot into the correct partition when you are installing each one. You can also use a third-party tool such as Easy BCD to set up the dual boot system and ensure that the correct operating system is loaded when you start your computer. If you are not comfortable setting up a dual boot system yourself, or if you don't have the technical expertise to do so, you can find websites that offer dual boot installation services. One such website is Microprokey .com, which specializes in dual boot installation and can help you get your dual boot system up and running quickly and easily.
Yes - this technique is know as a dual-boot system.
The second operating system should be on a different partition or disk. If you format the partition/disk that the unwanted operating system is on, the machine will have no choice but to boot to the remaining operating system.
In Linux, we have a menu.lst file in boot/grub folder in which we can change the boot order and timeouts.No idea about Windows.!.
Yes. There are two ways to do it. You can dual boot, which is installing both operating systems at the same time on the computer. When you start the computer, it'll ask you which operating system to boot. The other method is with a virtual machine. This will allow you to run the second operating system inside of the first one. It's much simpler to set up a virtual machine than it is to dual boot operating systems.
