Hey all,
I am following a guide to dual booting: http://apcmag.com/node/5162/
I am trying to dual boot XP Pro and Ubuntu 7.10, with XP installed first.
I am using a test HD (80gig). I install XP into a 10gigpartition, then install Ubuntu onto a second 10gig space using the debian partitioner. Again just for testing.
The first time I did this, XP would not show on GRUB Boot Manager. then selecting the default, Ubuntu would not boot.
The second time I tried this install (Same Partitions sizes after cleaning out all partitions using the XP cd) I install XP, then, using Ubuntu, I create a second 10 space for Ubuntu.
Now the Ubuntu will load from default, and XP does show up in the Boot Manager, but will not boot up when selected.
Is there a better, moere surefire way to setup dual boot because this guide ain't working too good.
I would like to run dualboot until I move everything to the debian OS. Then I am moving onto Ubuntu for good.
Thanks,
Heeter
