There are tutorials on this. I have often found dual booting to be a good way to continue using software while finding compatibility solutions. I realize some of the new hardware has problem s with that. I dual-boot WinXP and Linux. Don't often run up XP except if I need to use the occasional bit of software that won't run under Wine. 73 Ivor G6URP |

Don't forget to plan your disk usage in advance: XP and Vista can share the same "data" drive, but remember that Linux is only able to _read_ from NTFS partitions, so you might want to choose FAT32 for drives that will be shared between Windows and Linux.

HTH. 73, Bill W1AC (Filter QRM for direct replies) That's strange, I seem to be able to read/write to all the NTFS disks on my system from within Linux. I have Linux on a separate HDD on my main desktop machine and there are also 3 NAS drives on the network, all are accessible from both my Linux machines. 73 Ivor G6URP |
