Practical classic: multi-system coexistence in one hard disk method

Article Title: Practical classic: multi-system coexistence in one hard disk method. Linux is a technology channel of the IT lab in China. Including desktop applications, Linux system management, kernel research, embedded systems and open source, and other basic classification principles: Each partition is independent of each other!

Required software:

PowerQuest BTMagic 8.02 software package that directs each partition after installation is complete

Symantec Norton PartitionMagic 8.05 dynamic partitioning Software

XP 2003 vista linux is the software you want to install.

Installation steps:

1. Prepare partitions

As you know, a partition table can have only four primary partitions. Therefore, you can only install four independent systems at the same time. But linux can also be guided in extended partitions, which is easy to do.

Partition details:

Use PartitionMagic to divide the hard disk into 3 master + 1 extension. In the extension, create a small 1g partition of FAT32 for BTMagic. Create an ext3 instance and a swap instance for linux.

2. Installation Steps

Use the pqpartition software to activate the first primary partition and hide other systems. For example, xp

After xp is installed, activate the second primary partition to hide other partitions. For example, w2k3

W2k3 is installed, and then the third primary partition is activated to hide other systems. For example, vista

In linux, note that the linux boot part should not be installed on MBR, but on the linux Partition boot. This is very important, or you cannot guide linux.

3. The four systems are complete. Install the boot section below.

Pq or xp partition, enter normally, install a Small Partition of BTMAGIC to FAT32 of 1g, and then configure BTMAGIC to OK.
