HOWTO: Dual boot Windows and Ubuntu?
Some readers have asked for step-by-step instructions on how to take an existing Windows machine and dual-boot it with a GNU/Linux distro.
I bookmarked a site a while ago that, in my opinion, is the single best tutorial on how to dual boot a Windows machine with Ubuntu 5.10 (Breezy Badger) that I’ve ever seen.
It includes photographs of the screen every step of the way and a pretty good explanation of disk partitioning. The general topics covered are:
- Ubuntu Dual Boot
- BIOS Boot Order
- Ubuntu and Fat 32
- Ubuntu and NTFS
- Boot Loader Help
- After-install basics
Here’s the link to the site.
