Just remember, it's a lot easier to install Windows first, when dual booting with Linux (in my experience). Linux is better at adding itself to the list without destroying what was there first.<div><br></div><div>[Unlike on my Mac, where it's perfectly happy to add Boot Camp to an existing Mac boot volume, and then Parallels is able to open the Boot Camp partition as a VM. Wish I had more RAM; 2G is a bit tight when running two or more OSs at the same time.]</div>

<div>I have to note that three out of the four replies did not actually address the requested solution and that no one stepped forward to help the requester.<br>

This does not help with the Linux user stereotype.<br>

Does anyone out there feel like actually assisting the person asking for help, whether it's via dual booting or (if the unknown hardware supports it) virtualbox / vmware player?<br>
