Linux along with Windows booted from USB Stick (Co-existence of Linux& Windows)
Hi,
I need Windows for certain applications and Linux for certain other applications. But, the computer currently has only Linux(Ubuntu Destop version - 9.10) on it. I do not wish to disturb the Linux installed on it. So, i am trying to have Windows via USB stick !! :-) I am following the below steps for Windows XP from USB stick - http://www.winusb.de/index_en.html (Windows XP is booted from USB Stick) But, I understand that by the above method we can have the Windows XP booted up from the USB Stick and Windows XP will be using entire RAM :-( But, i would like to have Linux also ! Is it possible to have Linux and Windows simulataneously so that i can switch between Linux & Windows ? Any ideas ? Thx in advans, Karthik Balaguru

No. screen and cursors is a tad slow, and networking is a fair bit slower than a native windows. But its good enough for what I do. CAD work mainly.

Well - on my quad core processor system with 8GB memory and 64-bit base OS - it works great with Windows XP, Windows Vista and Windows 7 virtual machines... Guess it is all relative. If the screen and cursors are slow? Sounds like a driver issue (guest additions for virtualbox and vmware tools for vmware usually help those things) or lack of actual physical resources (memory/processor.) -- Shenan Stanley MS-MVP -- How To Ask Questions The Smart Way http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html

Either work fantastically. Provided you have plenty of RAM memory (and a Windows XP license). If you have, a virtual machine is definitely the way to go.
