Hello everbody,
I have got a few question . I want to load 2 OS's on my 8 GB
harddisk.The 2 OS's are Linux and WinXp.
1.What is the procedure that I shoudl follow?
2.My harddisk is got not partition?
3.How should I go about loading the two operating systems?
I will use the Linux environment only for my college purposes.
So should i make 2 partitions ( I think that will be required, right) of 6
Gb and 2 Gb for windows Xp and Linux respectively.
4.Which OS shoudl i load first Linux or WINXP.I ask this because somebody
told me that loading linux after winXP may cause winxp to get corrupt.
5.Can i partition my harddisk without going through the complete procedure
of formatting the disk etc.......( i.e. I would like to do it having Windows
already loaded).If so what is the software.If its not possible then FDISK in
DOS will be good enough ,right)
6.What is the maximum space a linux environment requires.I want to keep
maximum for windows.
7.Are there any complexities involved when loading it.
Also If i consider upgrading my HDD then which one should i go in for
samsung /seagate.Please tell me the prices of both 40 and 80 GB of the 2
companies.
Thanks a lot for spending you precious time in answering my questions
