d3bruts1d Posted September 23, 2002 Posted September 23, 2002 I'd put it on different HDDs if I were you. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hosher Posted January 3, 2003 Posted January 3, 2003 I'm running windows and linux on the same hard drive, and I have about the same amount of space dedicated to each OS. I used partition magic to separate them, works very well. And one other thing, some of the hard drive goes toward a thing that comes up before the computer is loading to let you pick what OS it boots into, for me if I don't pick something it boots into linux. Good luck man. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
