chinasky Posted March 28, 2008 Share Posted March 28, 2008 Hi, I have a disk with two partitions, the first one has xp installed and i´m planning to install ubuntu in the second. I would like to know if i can install grub in the second partition and if so how to boot linux from windows loader. The main reason for this is the use of bootcamp from vmware in osx. thanks Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/96178-booting-linux/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
kennyp Posted March 28, 2008 Share Posted March 28, 2008 Yes you can install linux and Grub on 2nd partition with no negitive issues. It should work on first boot with your Linux OS and other OS options already setup in your Menu.lst under /Boot/Grub/ At least that is the way it works with Ubuntu 7.1.0 Good Luck Kenny BTW, If you were to run OS X without boot camp, and VMWare, you can set Grub's meny for that also.
