Dual-booting Instructions for every scenario
I know of a lot of people who want to dual-boot but don't know how to so I just found this website and thought I should shared it with ya. I already tried it out with vista and xp and it was a breeze. It basically includes guides telling you how to...
1. dual boot Linux and XP with Linux installed first
2. dual boot Vista and XP with Vista installed first
3. dual-boot Vista and Linux with Linux installed first
4. dual-boot Vista and Linux with Vista installed first
5. dual boot XP and Linux with XP installed first
6. dual-boot Vista and XP with XP installed first
Mod Note: the above site has links on how to dual with with Windows 7.

Re: Awesome dual-booting guides for every possible scenario
This is pretty nice, good to have around if you don't want to wait for the guys in the Linux forum to tell you how to Dual boot. But remember that if you're having problems you should go there for any Linux related problems/help.

Re: Awesome dual-booting guides for every possible scenario
Sorry to bring up a thread that's over 2 months old but I figured it to be more logical than creating another thread. I plan on installing Vista Ultimate (32bit) and then installing XP Pro (64bit). I intend on using Vista for everyday uses and the majority of things I do (32bit is needed to run the VPN client here on campus), but I'd like to have XP Pro there to play games and take advantage of my 4gb's of ram.
I read the proper tutorial and it makes sense to me and I'm sure I could handle it, however, I didn't see anything in there that allowed you to adjust how large a partition is. I have a 200gb HDD and I want to set aside ~120gb for vista and ~80 for xp. If this can be done, where in the process would I do it and how? Thanks!
One more thing, I can dual boot 32bit/64bit right?
Thanks!
