Guest peter Posted August 12, 2007 Posted August 12, 2007 Re: installing two os in sys xp2 AND LINUX(ubountu) Linux does not create a dual boot automatically....it does not write files to the XP partition. I have XP installed on one HD and Ubuntu on another.I use the BIOS option to set 1st boot by means of an F12 option when booting because I did not want a huge problem when I decide to just go back to XP. If you do a google search for bootloader or dual boot you will find small programs that you install that then will give you the option. Bootitng is one such program. http://www.terabyteunlimited.com/bootitng.html peter "|-| oo K" <red_spider_net@yahoo.co.in> wrote in message news:1186851367.079621.280490@q3g2000prf.googlegroups.com... > hi friends, > > I want two os in my pc linux and xp both..........steps taken by me: > > 1> xp already installed in sys. in {c:\} > 2> reinserted xp2 cd......... booted the sys....... and deleted the > partition of {d:\} such that no d:\ exist. > 3>inserted linux cd..booted the sys... made the grub and installed the > linux. > 4>after completion of installation......... when i boot the sys. > 5>xp starts without showing the option of second os linux. > 6>then i boot from xp2 cd and deleted the partition of c:\ ie no > xp there in pc. > 7>what i saw after reboot the linux which i was installed in pc > starts booting and showing the option of xp too. > 8>after this i again installed xp2.................... but the result > was the same as from point 1 above. > 9>this means my system have both os by during boot process only xp > running. > > what will the procedure so that two option will come during boot up of > sys.can any option be added in boot.ini file of xp. >

Guest DRod Posted August 18, 2007 Posted August 18, 2007 Re: installing two os in sys xp2 AND LINUX(ubountu) Re: installing two os in sys xp2 AND LINUX(ubountu) Hi, I do not know if I am too late. But what I do, and see people doing is to install xp first then with the ubuntu LiveCD the installer will create the partition and will impose GRUB as your boot loader. Which version of ubuntu are you installing it could be that you have a non so new version where that option did not existed. Now, when I reinstall XP or have problems I follow: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows?action=show&redirect=RecoverGrub So that GRUB takes over again the loading sequencing.... Let me know if this helps...
