Is it possible to have Linux and Windows installed on the same HDD in different partitions ?.

A friend of mine said it wasn't possible.

thanks,

Yes it can be done! I currently have in my system 2 windows partitions (a c:\ drive and a d:\ drive both make up 15gb of disk space) and on the remaining 5gb I have mandrake 7.2 installed.!!

To make the partitions I used Partition Magic a very cool and easy to use program.!

Have Windows loaded first, reboot to the Linux CD and install it. Make sure you enable LILO unless you create a boot disk. LILO will enable you to dual boot between both OSes

Yeah, like randy says, LILO will manage the dual booting for you. You dont need Partition Magic or any other boot managers. If you're dual booting W2K & Linux, the process is a bit more complicated. Do a search for my earlier post on how to do it.
