Hey I am thinking about making a dual system or adding it to my current 160 gig hard drive and besides on how to do it...
which operating system should I use win xp pro or some other version of windows.
I am not doing this tonight so no rush in answering...

a dual system?
as in a dual-boot system? in which you would run more than one operating system on a single machine.
any particular reason you want to do it?
that might help determine the best way to do it.

I just want the option of it....

or it could be used if one desides to die.......

hmm good luck on your dual os.
i use to run a version some version of linux along with windows .
i think the version i was usign was winlinux + windows 98. hell if i can find the name i will post it.
peace
Like compugeek said knoppix is a good start for linux to check out your hardware in linux ... if you like it theres lots of linux distros to choose from that you could dual boot with depending on your taste. Mandrake has a pretty easy install, if you used partition magic and shrunk your last partition leaving an empty space it should pick up the free space and install there, if you desire.
For the record I'm pretty sure windows likes it better when you install its various versions chronologically ... 98 up to xp depending on which ones you want on there.
When you mess it up royally Kyle, don't come crying to us ;)
Always be nice to those around you. After all, some day you might need CPR.......

I've been running xp pro and mandrake linux dual boot for a while now and had no problems with it. Did as an experiment at first to see if i could do it worked first time mandrake was really easy to install. Couple of mates from college have done the same too :upside
go ahead and grab a knoppix CD kyle.
you can't mess anything up with that :)
(well...you probably won't, let me put it that way.)
