Partitioning a disk for dual booting
Pandora wrote:
Dual booting Ubuntu and Vista has been dealt with in other threads but I can't Google an answer to my question: The problem you have is that micoshaft PISTA is inferior technology and doesn't know hot to dual boot into Linux. Unlike Linux which does. So you can dump micoshaft corporation's PISTA with immediate effect and go with superior technology like Linux. http://www.livecdlist.com - free livecds with source code http://www.distrowatch.com If you are really desperate to PISTIFY your computer, then you can run up PISTA in a virtual machine inside Linux using free software like Qemu, Virtual box, or supported products like VMWare and focus on getting PISTA running in a window and transfer files between PISTA and Linux applications. That way, you begin to lose the need to PISTA altogther and focus more on data interchange and interoperability instead of micoshaft data lock in crap thats got all your data by the balls. e.g. One million users a week are switching to Open Office www.openoffice.org to flee micoshaft data lock in for all their word processing and spread sheet data. Its just fantastic the Open Office thing! A third alternative is to use a different machine for your PISTA and exchange files through networking using something like winscp to transfer data securely without the dangers of PISTIFIED computers on the network snooping in on your data. You can get a fairly decent computer for $200 these days. |
