21st September 2012 | LINUX BOOTLOADER FOR WINDOWS XP |
Brian Grainger |
Before starting on the detailed steps I want to make a comment about setting up Linux with Windows XP. Windows XP can be installed on three types of file system:
These instructions will work with all three systems, unless specifically mentioned in the instructions. However, NTFS with compression is not recommended. This is because NTFS-3G, the Linux driver to work with NTFS partitions, will not be able to write files to NTFS with compression partitions. Therefore, what you can do will be limited to read only of NTFS compressed partitions. NTFS-3G works perfectly happily with the NTFS no compression system and you will be able to read from and write to such partitions. These instructions are for Internet Explorer. If you use another browser then use the appropriate commands to download and save a file to disk, rather than download and run. Save the files to a temporary folder. Right Click HERE and choose 'Save Target As' to download the file: grldr (213 KB) VERY IMPORTANT: Make sure the filename is enclosed in " " marks Right Click HERE and choose 'Save Target As' to download the file: menu.lst (1 KB) VERY IMPORTANT: Make sure the filename extension is .lst for list NOT .1st for first. VERY IMPORTANT: Make sure the filename is enclosed in " " marks Using Windows Explorer perform the following:
In DOS speak you should now have the files grldr and menu.lst in the c:\ folder. That's the end of Step 1 Click HERE to proceed to Step 2 |
