I’ve heard of doing this but how do you do it?
What are the system requirements?
And once you’ve done it how do you access each different OS?
Is it a better idea to just get 2 different computers?

My laptop won’t let me boot to the desktop for some unknown reasons. So I installed the XP SP3 again in a separate folder. I can now boot with the new OS, but am not able to access old files. Please help.

I own a Macbook, and my original Operating System is Mac OS X Leopard. I recently downloaded Windows Vista, and I need some way to go back to Leopard. How can I do this?
I did add a partition, by the way. Now, what do I do?

I have my hard drive partitioned into two partitions. One has XP installed and the other has GNU Linux (Debian) installed. I used to be able to choose which operating system to load when i turned the computer on using GRUB boot manager which came packaged with Debian. The problem is that I had to reformat the XP partition and so now I can no longer choose a partition to load but it automatically goes into windows. How can I get back onto Linux when i want to.
Thanks.

I have a PC that is currently dual booting Windows Vista and Linux Mint. I’m not that fond of Linux Mint and want to explore other options. Can I simply delete that volume and put it back with my Windows partition, or do I have to uninstall GRUB loader or anything like that?

I am going to make a dual boot system and i was wondering what linux distribution would offer new things that windows dosent. It would be nice if the distribution was free. I was also wondering how much i should partition off for linux

I just installed Fedora on a separate partition from my Windows one. How do I boot from the other partition?

And if there is another way to boot from Windows back to linux, please tell me as well. Thanks in advance.

I downloaded Ubuntu 9.10 installer for windows. I went through the whole process, allowing 30 GB as a partition, and after rebooting and choosing "Ubuntu" from the menu (instead of Vista), this bloody GNU GRUB 1.97 beta 4 comes up. I hate it. From first sight.

How can I get rid of this sxxt and enjoy Ubuntu as every normal user? Thanks everybody

There is an old computer which I want to install WinXP on it, while retaining its Win98. I want the two OS to be completely separate from each other and each runs its own installed applications, and has absolutely nothing to do with each other.

The hard drive now is partitioned into C and D, C being the Win98 OS and installed programs, while D is personal data. Should I install XP in C or D partition? Or should I create a new partition within C or D (let’s call it E), this way if either OS screws up, I can restore only that partition using TrueImage or something similar?

Also how much space do I need to install XP?
