how do i install linux and keep my windows
idlepython3:
I have a computer running Windows Me and want to install Redhat 7.2 in a dual boot. I already set up a boot disk and everything and know how to get started, but how do I dual boot and partition my hd while still keeping the windows stuff separate? Other people need to use this computer and I don't want to mess up anything in Windows.
Commander:
u'll have to defrag(use the norton utilities defrager becuase the windows one sucks) ur drive and then use partition magic to partition ur drive. this will save ur data from being deleted.
i know people who had success with this method, but i didn;t. u could try anyways. i backed up my data over a lan while i formatted and partitioned.
mobrien_12:
Best to back up critcal data before messing with partitions.
You can use partition magic, or you can use GNU Parted to shrink your partition.
idlepython3:
damn. i thought it could be easier thatn that. maybe its best not to take the chance.
idlepython3:
i mean, i've been using this computer for a long time and can't afford to lose the information or screw it up. 'sides i don't have any way to back up my system anyhow.
