HOWTO: Dual boot Windows and Ubuntu?

by Jon on November 27th, 2005

Ubuntu
Some readers have asked for step-by-step instructions on how to take an existing Windows machine and dual-boot it with a GNU/Linux distro.

I bookmarked a site a while ago that, in my opinion, is the single best tutorial on how to dual boot a Windows machine with Ubuntu 5.10 (Breezy Badger) that I’ve ever seen.

It includes photographs of the screen every step of the way and a pretty good explanation of disk partitioning. The general topics covered are:

  • Ubuntu Dual Boot
  • BIOS Boot Order
  • Ubuntu and Fat 32
  • Ubuntu and NTFS
  • Boot Loader Help
  • After-install basics

Here’s the link to the site.
