    Installing Ubuntu as a dual-boot with Windows without partitioning https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wubi You keep Windows as it is, Wubi only adds an extra option to boot into Ubuntu. Wubi does not require you to modify the partitions of your PC, or to use a different bootloader, and does not install special drivers. It works just like any other application. Wubi keeps most of the files in one folder, and if you do not like it, you can simply uninstall it as any other application. Boot in to windows insert the Ubuntu 10.04 LiveCD and you will offered the option of installing inside windows which is where the Wubi installer comes in, you will be asked how many gigabytes you wish to allocate to Ubuntu (I recommend 8gb) then you set a password for your installation then click install and thats it. Once Ubuntu is fully installed upon starting your PC you will be given a choice of which operating system you want to use Windows or Ubuntu Ubuntu 10.04 Download http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/download Ubuntu 10.04 (Lucid Lynx) User Guide http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu:Lucid Linux Mint 7 has a similar feature called mint4win and the directions given above for Wubi can be followed (Windows 7 run mint4win in Vista compatability mode) http://duncsweb.com/2009/09/27/mint4win-a-wubi-based-installer-of-linux-mint/ Linux Mint 7 Download http://www.linuxmint.com/edition.php?id=38 Linux Mint 7 Gloria User Guide http://www.scribd.com/doc/15884753/Linux-Mint-7-Gloria-User-Guide Ubuntu 10.04 and Linux Mint 7 can also be run straight from the LiveCD without touching your Hard drive LUg.

yes you can install 2 os at a time , but you have to take some precaution while installing . Do not install both the os on the same drive and so on

The answer is Yes. Its very possible. All you need to do is first partition the hard drive using XP at first, then install it on one partition with NTFS File allocation table. NB You should install XP being the first one to prevent Boot menu corruption. Then Boot from Linux OS and format the partition you are to install using ex3 or FAT supported by the Linux OS you are installing and carry on to the end of installation. When you start up your computer, A list of booting Menu appears, several for Linux OS being on top and For windows appears at the bottom. When you want to boot to windows environment, Choose Windows from the list. As others have said, If you don't know How to install Please seek guidance. Thanks.

ya you can install both os in one pc ther is no problem if you know how to install

Yes you can. It's called dual-booting. And fortunately it happens to be easier with Windows installed first, because linux doesn't cry like a baby about there being an "intruder" operating system on the same computer as itself. Be careful though, it's dangerous if you don't know what you're doing and you could end up not being able to use your computer at all. Google "dual booting windows linux"

Ya Shure u can install both the OS (Duel OS) there r two types of installation 1)inside Xp 2)Out Side portion (In another Portion) Difference if u installed inside Xp it never effect boot loader files in xp when ever u want u can install and uninstall but if u install Out side portion it ill effect bootloder files in xp For more details contact 09994612271 (or) Viset www.m4techsolutions.com
