Hi,

Is there anyway I can run Linux on the same machine as Win XP without partitioning my hard drive. Is it true that I cannot partition my hard drive now that I have already installed XP?

Thanks again,

Jabber

Yes
No.

Yes, you can run linux on XP without partitioning. There are liveCDs, which are bootable cd(http://www.frozentech.com/content/livecd.php), as well, Look into qemu (there is a linux distro called DSL embedded that will run right inside windows. http://ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/distrib...small/current/ and download the dsl-embedded zipfile. You can also modify the batch file to boot any linuxlivecd.)

as for partitioning, you can repartition, howver, most likely you will need a third party tool such as partition magic.

Probably. If you want to; try it. however, there are other, better known linux-on-win distros out there. Look @ this page: http://www.linux.org/dist/list.html, and set category to runs on ms windows.

No, however, it will partition your drive.
