what you need is a partition. Partition your HDD for GNU/Linux and Windows. Install Windows first and then install GNU/Linux. The difference b/w partitioning and VMVARE is that 1) the cost difference is HUGE 2) you will be needing to reboot to switch operating systems. If your system is not booting from CDROM /' floppy, it is most likely a bios setting problem. Go to you CMOS setup and change the booting sequence to FLOPPY/CDROM/C Drive Don't worry. I did the same thing the first time I installed Linux. The second try was better :-) vibhu.. Sachin Vaidya wrote: > Hello friends, > > I just loaded linux on my machine.
