hi every one i want to install both winxp and linux in a single pc ( I MEAN DUAL BOOTING )

Setting up a dual boot system is simpler than you may expect. Install Windows XP first (if it is not already installed), but keep enough unallocated space for your Linux partitions (which can be created after the Windows installation). If Windows has already been installed, and the Windows partition(s) occupy all your hard drive space, you have a few options: 1. Add another hard drive to which you will install Linux. 2. Get the System Rescue CD iso image file, and burn it to a disk (create a disk from an image), Boot your computer from the System Rescue CD. Use Gparted to non-destructively resize your Windows partition(s) so you have enough room for the new Linux partitions. Install Linux in the free (unallocated) space placing the boot loader in the MBR. Most (if not all) Linux distributions will automatically find your Windows installation, and add a Windows menu item in the boot loader menu for you. After completing the Linux installation, you will be asked to restart your computer. Do so. When the computer restarts, you will be presented with a boot loader screen from which you can choose to boot to either Windows or Linux. HTH, Ernie Registered Linux User 247790

If you want Ubuntu, try wubi. http://wubi-installer.org/ UK MP's are thieving scumbags. EU members are worse.
