Dual-Booting Windows XP/Vista And Ubuntu 7.04

Submitted by Cargoship (Contact Author) (Forums) on Thu, 2007-07-1917:26. :: Ubuntu | Desktop

Dual-Booting Windows XP/Vista And Ubuntu 7.04

In this tutorial I will teach you how to dual-boot between Windows

XP/Vista and Ubuntu.

This tutorial will be split up into two parts:

Part one for people who have no operating system installed.

Part two for people who have Windows XP/Vista installed and don't

want to re-install Windows.

Part 1: Fresh start

In this part I will go though every step from installing Windows and

Ubuntu to creating the dual-boot.

Windows XP + Ubuntu 7.04

What you will need:

Windows XP Boot Disk

Ubuntu 7.04 Boot Disk

Make sure your computer is set to boot from a CD.

To check this go into your BIOS. From there go to "Boot" and go to

"Boot Priorities". Make sure CD-ROM is set to boot first and you're all

set.

Installing Windows XP

Now I am going go over how to install Windows XP step-by-step.

1. Make sure your XP boot up disk is in the CD-ROM and start your PC.

2. A blue MS-DOS screen will load up first asking you if you want to install drivers or run an

Automated System Recovery. Just wait for them to go by and then Windows will begin to lo

files needed to install XP.

5. You will now see a screen in which you can edit the size of our new partition. Depending

your hard drive size and preference, determine the amount of gigabytes (GB) you are going

give XP to use. After you have chosen the size hit Enterto create the partition.

Note -

Windows XP requires at least 1.5 gigabytes of hard drive space.

1000 megabytes (MB)= 1 gigabyte (GB). So when entering XP's partition make sure to writ

as 90000 instead of 90, because it reads in megabytes, not gigabytes.

6. You will now be brought back to the screen in step 4. Highlight the new partition you cre

and press Enterto install.

7. The next screen will ask you how you would like to format the partition (FAT32 or NTFS)

The choice is up to you and what you prefer. If you need help then check out this article FA

or NTFS: Making the Choice. Regardless of your choice, choose the quick option as this will

make the installation go a whole lot quicker.

8. The last step before Windows installs itself onto your system. Just press Fto begin

formatting.

9. Now just wait...

10. After the installation has completed your system will reboot and now it is time to finish

installing Windows XP. This part should be pretty self-explanatory so I will let you complete

with your own choices.

Congrats! You have fully installed Windows XP on your system. Activate windows if you wan

do anything thing else to it. When ready go on to the next part to install Ubuntu and get th

dual-boot up.

Installing Ubuntu 7.04 + Dual-Boot

Again make sure your computer is set to boot from CD-ROM.

1. Insert the Ubuntu 7.04 boot disk and start up your computer. The boot screen will come

next. Highlight the Start or install Ubuntu choice and press Enter. Be patient while the

loader goes back and forth. This may take a few minutes.

2. After that Ubuntu will load up and you will be presented with a very bare screen. Double

click on the Install icon to begin setting up Ubuntu.

3. After you double-click on the install icon it will first ask you to pick your preferred langua

Choose one and click Forward.

4. The next screen will ask you to pick a location near you for time purposes.

5. Now to choose your keyboard layout. Most commonly it is U.S English.

checked and click Forward.

Now you should see a screen entitled Prepare partitions. We are now going to create the

partition in which Ubuntu will run on plus a file called "SWAP" to act as virtual memory.



9/16


7. First let's create the SWAP file. Click on New partition. The SWAP file won't need a who

lot of space to run, so just give it 512 megabytes which will be more than enough for it to r

Now just change the Use as: option to SWAP while keeping the type of partition as Primar

and the location as Beginning. Click OKto add it.



10/16


8. Now make sure free space is highlighted and click New partition again. This time we w

add the hard drive space for Ubuntu to use. Give it what ever amount of space you would li

depending on your hard drive space. Just remember to give it at least 2 GB though I

recommend you give it much more. Now change the Use as: to ext3 and keep the rest of t

settings the same. Click OKto add.



11/16


9. Next right-click on the partition ext3 and click edit. From here change the mount point

forward slash /and click OK.

10. You should see a screen similar to this one, but with the partition NTFS on it. Last thing



12/16


do before proceeding is check the box next to ext3 to format and then click Forward.

11. The next screen is going to ask you if you want to import any accounts you may have o

Windows XP. If you want to do it, if not just proceed.

12. Time to enter your personal information. Just as a note: your login has to be all lowerca

letters.

13. Now just confirm all the information and click Install to start enjoying the beauty of L

End Notes

Well congratulations you have just fully installed both Windows XP and Ubuntu 7.04 to run

the same system under a dual-boot! I hope you enjoyed reading this as I have had a blast

writing it.

Just what I w as looking forSubmitted by Davey (Contact Author) (Forums) on Wed, 2007-08-08 18:13.

Thanks for this. I'm planning to install Linux on my sister's new laptop that has Vista

it, and was wondering about how to shrink the Win partition and set up new ones. So

like it's easier than it used to be. For those of us who don't know Vista and don't

especially want to, the tutorial saves a lot of research effort.

There are two points you might want to clarify:

--Windows used to need defragging before shrinking the partition. Does the new Shri

utility take care of this automatically?

--What's the minimium recommended size for retaining a functioning Vista installatio

Hibernation under UbuntuSubmitted by MeneM (Contact Author) (Forums) on Tue, 2007-07-24 13:53.

Under step seven you say:

so just give it 512 megabytes which will be more than enough for it to run

But should you not make this large enough to hold the contents of you RAM so you ca

use Hibernation under Ubuntu?

I've used the follow ingSubmitted by GSMD (Contact Author) (Forums) on Fri, 2007-07-20 16:32.

I've used the following routine:

1. Partition your disk with PartitionMagic (alternatively GParted booting from a livecd

that it would contain 2 NTFS partitions and an empty space for Ubuntu.

2. Install WinXP to the first NTFS partition

3. Launch PartitionMagic again and hide the partition you just installed WinXP to. This

prevent Vista from screwing things up.

4. Install Vista to the second partition.

5. Unhide the WinXP partition.

6. Install Ubuntu letting it do automatic partitioning.

That's all. Grub will catch up the existing windows installations and a triple boot woul

work out.
