For whatever reason, many computer users think that their desktop computers can only run one operating system at a time. Windows PC only run Windows. Macs only run Mac OS. Linux machines only run Linux. But that’s far from the truth.

There are a number of ways in which you can run more than one operating system on a computer. A popular and venerable way is multi-booting. Another is using an application layer like Crossover. But the solution that’s gained popularity in recent years is virtualization.

  4. I wanted to say tonight is a first for me.  My first time to log in to a bog and leave a comment.
    This article came in at the right time.  I am going to build a pc and wanted to have dual operating systems and was not sure how to do it.
    Thanks this was a big help.

  5. Great Tech Tip !

    Is there any way to utilize an already installed windows XP partition that is used for dual boot to be the guest on a Linux, Debian host, using VirtualBox?

    Or does it need to be a fresh install of guest windows?

  6. I have a quad boot dual core amd laptop. I do believe you have to format the partitions correctly so boot loaders can recognise them. I have set up the partitions as three 1 vista home premium NTFS two XP NTFS and three vista ultimate NTFS the fourth I leave un-allocated for ubuntu as the setup will allow the partitioning for root home and share.

    Note create the NTSF partitions first then install Vista then vista 2 then xp and last ubuntu.
    Ubuntu will show the first then longhorn boot loader will display the other three after clicking on it. ENJOY!
