How can I install Windows XP on an Ubuntu, Linux OS?
biohazard asked:
It’s me again. I inserted the XP installer cd then restarted the system. On the start-up the screen says, “PRESS ANY KEY TO BOOT FROM CD…”, but that doesn’t work. i repeated it several times but ubuntu doesn’t seem to respond whenever i am pressing a key to boot from cd. ubuntu is just starting the system without booting.

Can I use both Windows XP and Ubuntu Linux on the same computer?
Amitanshu G asked:
I recently ordered a copy of Ubuntu Linux and it’s still with me though I haven’t started using it. I am going to get a laptop pretty soon( right now I have a desktop with Windows XP) and wish to use both Windows XP and Ubuntu Linux on the same Laptop…I am planning to get a 160 GB hard disk for the laptop and someone told me that it can be done by partitioning the hard disk into two parts one with XP , one with Ubuntu Linux. My question is that this guy who told me about the partitioning also told me that the computer becomes highly unstable and the chances to crash are more as compared to one OS on one computer if two operating systems are there on a single computer , is this true?

Using Windows 98 after having Xubuntu Linux on the computer?
Jim asked:
Evey time I try to boot my computer a thing that says GRUB comes up. I believe it’s the boot system for Linux. I tried what another person said which was to do chkdsk/f and that did nothing but tell me stuff about my computer. I did the recovery CD and it doesn’t get rid of GRUB.
