I want to dualboot (assuming I can't run STO well under VMware) XP on my openSUSE machine. It ONLY runs openSUSE right now, and I want to install XP without having to murder the current openSUSE installation. I have the XP.
Assuming you have the disk space available, one thing you can count on is Windows will take over the boot process, so you'll then have to re-enable the grub boot loader. It's always easier to install Windows first, then Linux.
Sorry if my answer is not what you were looking for, but if you install VirtualBox (I donwloaded it directly from here: https://www.virtualbox.org/ ) you can easily install WinXP inside virtualbox. It runs very smooth and fully complete, incl. access to internet, usb devices etc.... It is not an emulation, it is your real, full WinXP. The great advantage is that you do not have to reboot, you can simply have Windows running in a window on your normal linux desktop. You can even switch to a manner that allows you to have windows-programs running in normal windows along with linux apps without having to see the windows wallpaper. Also you don't have to bother about boot processes or what ever. You can share folders, work in Windows and Linux simultaneously - it's great! If you think I'm a fan of VirtualBox, ok: you're right :-) hth Daniel -- Daniel Bauer photographer Basel Barcelona professional photography: http://www.daniel-bauer.com personal facebook: http://www.facebook.com/mars.fotografo google+: https://plus.google.com/109534388657020287386 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
