Same here...I've only tried dual-booting between Fedora (Linux distro) and Windows XP.

It's a bit tricky to dual-boot when you only have one physical hard disk drive which has been partitioned only into two (2) volumes. It's a reasonably easier to dual-boot between two (2) operating systems when you have two different physical drives installed in your PC.

The link provided above is a good guide...that's one of several websites I came across while researching on how to dual-boot back then.

yeah dati din Fedora 8 and XP..

kaso nung tinanggal ko yung Fedora nagkaron ako ng problems sa boot up ng XP, problem sa bootloader yata im not sure...i had to go to a nearby computer shop to do some researching and fortunately nakahanap naman ako ng fix...

depende siguro kung NTFS din ang gamit ng vista mejo madali na yan..partition na lang kelangan mo...kung older version kasi like win98 o kaya Linux based eh kelangan i-format mo pa yung partition na ginawa mo sa file system na preferred ng OS...at matagal yun pramis...

i tried it with a laptop. make sure that you install w xp first and then vista on another partition. afterwards. don't ever format the first partition because you wont be able to launch vista anymore. why because the bootloader for vista is in the first partition. many have learned this the hard way. ntfs should be the file system.

Di ko pa natatry to pero ilang beses ko na na-try sa utak ko hehe. Sana walang ibang mangyari. Hehe. Try ko mag-dualboot bukas. I had to look for a Vista and XP installer pa kasi. Wish me luck. Sana di pumutok laptop ko. Hehe.

oo ganyan nga...pero gaya nga ng sabi ko, yung partition kung saan mo lalagay yung Ubuntu mo eh hindi NTFS kaya kung ano man ang laman ng Ubuntu mo OS mo eh hindi viewable sa XP...EXT3 yata ang file system ng Linux...

guys.... if your into dual-booting...
I suggest u use third-party softwares like VMWare Workstation..

benefit wise... pag ayaw nyo na nung guest OS nyo...
you dont have to go through the hassle of removing the OS.

instantly, you can easily remove & add new OS of different kind. (linux, solaris, etc.)

just my two cents.

peace.

good suggestion, although i'd like to add that VMware Server could be a better choice, its totally free and you can get a legal copy without any cost.. and contains all basic features as the Workstation version.. they provide the serial number upon registration.. You can install Linux/*nix on top of windows or vice versa.. which is really handy if you do not want to reboot to access another OS..

anyways a nicely configured Wine installed on Linux can enable you to run decent windows apps.. (been using Vyzex (Line 6 PocketPod/POD 2.0 editor) under Linux over wine and works great.. my fedora recognizes the pocketpod as midi device automatically..)

ako windows vista ultimate, windows xp, and ubuntu on my laptop. share ko lang. haha. never ko pa na-try magtanggal ng isa sa mga OS na un.

I already tried dual-booting a DELL Inspiron 9400 and Inspiron E1505 with Microsoft Windows Media Center Edition 2005 and Microsoft Windows Vista Ultimate when I used to work with DELL for training purposes. I never had any issues. I just added additonal memory modules with both of the portables because Vista Ultimate really eats up a lot of system memory.

a long time ago, i had i think 4-5 OS's in one machine (different flavors of linux and windows xp). all OS's were functional.

LOL, kain sa oras just trying to decide on the flavor of the day

it's good to note though that when my son was five, he discovered how to use Grub, and strangely he always went for Suse, haha. pwede kasi sya gumawa ng penguin games nya don.

Newbie pa lang ako sa multi-booting, pero kahapon nakapag-triple boot na ako

Installed Windows 7 Ultimate first, tapos FreeBSD 7.2, and Ubuntu 9.10. bale GRUB2 ang gamit kong bootloader, no problems naman whatsoever.

okay, 4 more OSes to go...

Installing both Windows on 2 separate primary partitions is recommended.
Then search for tricks on tweaking the Windows Boot Manager (in your case, it's Vista Boot loader) on Google.

i tried dual booting windows xp and windows vista once, using to seperate hard drives. i did it only to check which suits me better. mabagal talaga vista.

yung xp i used it for games and internet

yung vista i used it for office work and programming

Sugar Ray Vaughan · « **Reply #24 on:** December 02, 2009, 08:13:46 PM »

Actually, dual booting is easy. Things only get complicated because of Windows, because it usually f*cks up the MBR and makes himself recognize as the ONLY operating system in your hard drive.

You can google "ntldr" and "bootmgr" for booting tips related to XP and Vista/7. Additional jargons: "boot.ini" and "bcdedit".

And another thing: Windows usually conquers the whole hard drive. Two options would be (1) reformatting the hard drive and install the 2 OSes; or (2) Shrink the volume, and create another primary partition for your second OS.
