General :: Dual-booting Windows : Why Install Windows First?
Apr 1, 2011I've read that, when configuring a dual-boot system, you should install Windows first to avoid any issues.Some questions: I'm assuming this has to do with the boot loader so: How is Windows boot loader so different that this matters? If I'm totally off, please explain.Is this the same case with Windows 7 and Windows XP? Depending on question 1 of course: Will installing Windows later on mean that it will definitely not work or just that you might encounter issues later on? Some tutorials are kind of ambiguous about that point.

General :: Cannot See Windows 7 Partitions On Install?
Mar 7, 2011I've been trying to install Linux as a dual boot with Windows 7 on my Dell latitude e6510.It is currently running Windows 7 and I have used the MS disk tools to shrink the Win 7 NTFS partition to make room for Linux.The issue I'm having is that when I run Linux installers by boot from CD they see the entire hard drive as unallocated space. I have tried Ubuntu 10.10, Kbuntu 10.10 and Fedora 14 and they all have the same problem.I have also tried the Ubuntu "install in Windows" option and could not get it to work.EDIT:Booting Gparted 0.8.0 from a usb drive did not work. It reported the entire drive as unpartitioned.

Jul 6, 2009I have 4 old P4s that I've been playing with different distros with. Now I'd like to build a functional network with them. I also have a little old P3 that I'd like to turn into a firewall/router.
I'll keep Ubuntu on my wife laptop and maybe PC-BSD on my more powerful personal computer. The others I'd like to turn into servers: DHCP, DNS, web server (Apache, MySQL or PostgresSQL), file/print server, entertainment center.
I have X Windows running on the laptop and will on my computer but do the others need it? If not how are they configured?

View 2 Replies View RelatedGeneral :: Windows 7 - Install GRUB To A Partition And Not MBR?
Sep 12, 2010I am trying to dual boot Windows and Linux. I would like to continue using the Windows bootloader in my MBR.
I installed Windows 7 first. During the install I left some unallocated space that I intended to install Linux.
I found this guide: [URL]
It says to install GRUB to the bootsector of the partition that Linux is being installed to and not the MBR of your hard drive.
I am trying to install Linux Mint Debian to the second partition. When the installer gets to where you are asked to install GRUB the only option is to install GRUB to /dev/sda which I believe is the MBR.
I decided just not to install GRUB and proceeded with the installation.
How can I install GRUB to the bootsector of my Linux partition?
General :: Install Wireless Driver From Windows?
Oct 27, 2010I've got a Atheros AR9285 wireless card. I'd like to install the driver so I can access the internet, but I cannot install it without installing the driver to access the internet. See the problem?
Fortunately, I've got a Windows partition set up that can access the internet. Hence this post. How can I go about installing the driver?
Where can I download the driver from? Where should I put it on my hard drive? What command do I use to install the driver?
Edit:
I'm on a gateway laptop. I know I can't install the drive from within windows. I'm asking which driver to download and what command installs the driver from within Linux.
Edit2:
I can't use LAN in this case.
General :: OpenSuse Won't Boot After Windows Install?
May 15, 2011I have OpenSuse 11.4 running and I just installed Windows 7 in the same HDD on some extra space. Windows killed grub (I knew it would) so I put in my grub cd and selected "Detect any OS". It took a second and found my new windows installation along with my Opensuse (one option was single user mode, the other was just normal). When I selected the regular opensuse install, all I get is a nice looking terminal thingy with suse's logo in the background and I get a login prompt (command line login, no gui). So my first problem is that -- I can't get the GUI to work. Also, when I try to login at the prompt I get this error:Error in service module
