Tutorial: Windows Linux dualboot

Posted on Friday, March 31 2006 @ 10:15 CEST by Thomas De Maesschalck

How To Forge has published a guide on creating a dual-boot Windows Linux PC.

This tutorial was written to help set up a dual boot on a SATA drive but it will also work for PATA so continue forward and I will let you know if you need to skip something. In order to have a fully functional dual boot system it is preferred that Windows be loaded first. After that you can load Linux and easily dump the boot configuration on Windows NTLDR file (comparable to Linux boot file).

You can check out the howto over here.
