 Dual boot I have 320g hd, shrank to 300, leaving 20G for 2nd partition. Installed JULinux on 2nd partition. Instead on boot menu for xp or linux, it boots to a linux only menu. Any ideas how I did not follow video?
thanks,
Bill

Re: Dual boot Linux OS' will install it's own Bootloader menu and overwrite any Windows one, if there was one.
Most of the time in order to see Windows again in the bootloader you'll have to run a series of Terminal commands to make it active and show it.
This is the reason why it did not work as you thought it would as shown on the videos. It would've worked had you used a Windows installation instead of Linux.

Re: Dual boot Thanks for the info, that is funny since the video said you might have two or more os's including linux.

Re: Dual boot The one version of Linux I can think of off the top of my head that will still show the Windows OS is Ubuntu in the Bootloader. Ubuntu is pretty good with that.
