Partitioning - Dual Booting - Hard-Drive Imaging
Tutorial
by entropy
You'll find in this guide the instruction's to (
hopefully ) help you whether you want to Partition your Hard-Drive,
create a Dual Boot machine running a combination of either Windows 9x,
2000, Xp and/or Linux, ( Note: I'm a Windows man, so this
tutorial won't guide you to install Linux, but you'll @ least be able to
create the Partition ), then when you're finished, create an Image
for when something goes wrong at a later time - & let's face it, we
all love to muck around & play, not leaving well enough alone It'd be egotistical of me to not point out that this is MY way of doing things and that there are other ways too, but I wanted to write a tutorial with the absolute beginner in mind, a tutorial to just get you up & running without cluttering your mind with all that geek speak. But if you really want to punish yourself, I've also included a separate Techno Babble page Programs/tools you'll need: PowerQuest's Partition Magic ( self explanatory ) These aren't the only programs available to do the
same job/s, there are other's eg: Nortons Ghost ( for Imaging your
Hard-Drive ), but they're my personal favourites & they've never let
me down
Having said all that, let's get into it
