I have Linux installed at the moment, i want to install Windows XP, but i know that if i do this i wont be able to access Linux anymore, what should i do?, anyway to install windows and not loose the Linux Bootloader?
Install Windows first, then Linux second and then let the Linux bootloader take care of the multi-booting.
i cant do that, linux is allready installed and i aint wanting to get rid of it after all the pain i have gone through to get it to what ti is at the moment
What linux bootloader are you using? Ive only ever used grub. If you use grub...... Before you install windows make a grub floppy then when windows is installed boot from the floppy, re-install grub bootloader and configure it to boot to linux then edit the grub configure file to add an entry for windows. I wont go into anymore details because if I remember right you dont have a floppy drive! Please say you have a floppy drive :crying: EDIT:Just read this from the The Bible pt1 of Linux as I know it! Make the disc, install windows and boot from the floppy. On the command do the root, setup and quit bit. YOU MUST TYPE IN QUIT. If you dont you will have trouble. This will get you into linux again, then edit menu.lst There is a section odual booting with Windows. 8.4. Making the LFS System Bootable
