gamer43 Posted January 30, 2010 Share Posted January 30, 2010 i just bought my 1005ha from newegg today i would like to boot all of the following Win XP (could not install if it causes problems) Win 7 Ubuntu 9.10 Jolicloud BT4 (if it can be done easily otherwise i will put on SD) i was just wondering what would be the best order to install the operating systems i would like to use grub as the loader and have an entry to boot the SD card thanks gamer43 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H@L0_F00 Posted January 30, 2010 Share Posted January 30, 2010 If you want that many OSes, why not just use virtual machines? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparda Posted January 30, 2010 Share Posted January 30, 2010 Why would you need two versions of Windows? Why would you need two versions of Linux? Why would you need Jolicloud if you already have one (or more) operating system(s)? Regardless, install in this order: XP, 7, Jolicloud, BT4, Ubuntu.

H@L0_F00 Posted January 30, 2010 Share Posted January 30, 2010 If you are going to install a Ubuntu, there isn't much of a reason to install BT4. Use it from a flash drive or DVD until you can get everything running in Ubuntu. You can image your XP install with Clonezilla and save it in case you want to revert. If you still want XP, and Win7 works, install it in a VM. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
