I already selected Linux Boot Loader while installed. and other thing Linux partion should have more than windows partions space. is not possible because i have following partions
1. ESIA Recovery partions 12 GB
2. 70 GB 1st Active partion for Vista
3. 35 GB i am using for DATA for Vista
I have total 160 GB space on HDD so rest i am using for linux
and i thing it is sufficient. please clear if any login behind it. I already selected Linux Boot Loader while installed. and other thing Linux partion should have more than windows partions space. is not possible because i have following partions

Again install linux in between the installation there will be option select linux boot loader , and one more think linux partition space should more then windows partition
that's what the problem using partition magic do free space in 70 gb free 30 gb free space and try installingthat's what the problem using partition magic do free space in 70 gb free 30 gb free space and try installing

there are a lot of ways: 1. Install through USB Device. 2. Install through a DVD. It would also depend on the type of Operating System: Linux or Windows. It is relatively easy to install Windows OS than Linux though it is easy to install Linux is easier when installed inside windows. For windows installation: 1.Insert windows DVD or USB and boot through the device inserted. 2.After the language selection, you will be directed to select the partition in which the windows will be installed. 3. Select the partition and click install. 4. the software will be installed over time. for Linux installation: it will depend on the type of linux. it is best to refer the particular linux's free documentation to better understand the installation process
there won't be any problem as far as Windows and Linux, but this is a fairly involved procedure.You'll first need to create a Windows partition on your hard disk in NTFS file system format. Otherwise,Windows might overwrite / erase your linux installation when Windows 7 installs.
make the windows partition the "Primary" or "Boot" partition.
When Windows 7 installs, it may ask if you want to delete the linux partition.Answer "NO" to this.
The next concern is which operating system will boot by default,Windows or Linux.
I had no problem doing this with Windows Vista, and whe Vista booted,it listed a choice of operating systems to boot,and I would select either Windows Vista or Ubuntu Linux.
You don't have to do anything to remove it actually. If you just format the disk it will be removed (for ever though) so just install the right on it don't even have to boot in Linpus.
Making your laptop Dual boot(that is the term for having two operating systems on a computer) with windows and Linux is a little tricky though.
Basically the whole problem is that windows will wipe your linux if you are not careful and will wipe your boot partition for sure (Windows 7 might not - haven't tried it).
So All you have to do is install Windows. While partitining the disk just take enough space for it and leave enough for the windows - you can wipe the whole disk if you want to. The Linux will need from 4 - 12+ GB of installation space (maybe less if it's live cd and you won't keep files there). After you have installed your Windows. Just install your favorite Linux distribution in the space left. If you have any other questions mainly to the Linux installation, I'll be pleased to help you.
absolutely! all you need is your windows install CD and the installation will prompt you to select a partition, select your linux partition, delete it and start a new with XP. it's very easy.
Well, with any amount of luck, when you installed xp you didn't erase the recovery partition. Just boot into the recovery partition. Some laptops will let you have that option on a regular boot.
To solve this problem you have to make a partition form the outside of windows
---------------
1 - delete the partition you made in vista
---
2- download from the internet an Fdisk bootable floppy OR use Puppy linux live cd and run gpart from menu > setup > gpart
----
3- folloe the intructions on the fdisk program and then install linux
--------
when the time of installing only you have to take linux boot loader then it will show both operating systems otherwise i think the problem is monitor configuration in linux installing
possibly by first creating a new partition large enough for Linux OS, but does not solve your problem...try getting a VISTA startup disc from another pc (floppies if you have the drive) and startup from these.
I think Fixya dont have linux experts....
