Linux Installation Summary
In summary, it’s important to
note that the installation of a dual boot operating system went smoothly
because we installed each operating system to its own partition. And,
we never deleted or removed an existing partition when we added the
new operating system. We ran the Linux Installer, and it left Windows
XP intact, because we chose not to remove non-Linux partitions. Then,
the Grub bootloader recognizes that we have two bootable operating systems
on our hard drive, and it gives us the option to boot from either.
For this dual boot installation,
we installed Windows XP first. Then, the Linux bootloader recognized
the existing operating system and it allowed us to install the dual
boot operating system. That’s the purpose of a bootloader. It lets
us choose between different operating systems at startup.
Congratulations! You’ve now
installed a dual boot operating system on your new PC!
