How can I use dual/multi boot partitions on my PC?

Hey, I don't really know how to multi-boot a PC, but I have always wanted to know how. Hopefully someone else will be able to answer your question better than I have done, in a really good way so you can actually benefit from it. Make sure you have a good day, Happy Lotting!!

well when you have an os already installed on your computer and then you install another one through the same os interface then you get the option on install two OS on the same machine but yes you have to install them on two different partitions or else they will never work.

If you are installing a Linux distribution along with Windows, then I recommend that you install Windows first. The installation process of Linux will allow you to manually partition the drive, or to let Linux use the free space on the drive and partition it for you. If you are using 2 Windows versions then it would be advisable to partition the drive first, which will ensure that each operating system has sufficient space to expand.

Hi, It depends on which operating system you need to install. Currently I am multibooting four operating systems in my laptop, like Windows Vista Home Premium, Vista Ultimate, Windows 7 and Ubuntu Linux. So if you want to install any Windows OS, then you need to install the older one first and then the newer one. else it will be difficult to boot into the newer ones since the old bootloader wont recognize the newer one (Tweaking is also possible). If you want to installlinux along with windows, then you can install it normally, in the sense install any one first and then the second one. Also note that try to install the Os's on your primary partition rather than extended partition. There is one more option in the new Ubuntu linux distros for installing it inside windows. if you have more space in your windows partition you can go for this.
