This article is my favourite one because it's from my personal experience . I think this is also a asset to you . Personally, I faced lot of problems from the installation side of different operating systems because different OS have different boot files . It is irritating some times !! So installations is quite tough . Is it ? I think when compared to windows installations linux is better one . Although windows allows to install linux OS with in the system or different .What happen when install windows after installing linux OS ? Is it linux allows us to install windows with in the system ? I don't think so . Since , before answering this question let us look the general ideas about both windows and linux boot .
Linux and windows have different boot files . Linux uses GRUB installation to maintain boot files and also windows have a bootloader . So when installing either OS , the actual thing is happen that the OS install their bootloader in the system . So It loades the boot files when system start up . I think some time you victim of such boot problems . Is it ? when changing or removing the OS files , the OS can not boot their files properly . Some time we experience GRUB rescue > error when deleting the linux files from windows .
This is the basic general idea about how OS boot up their files . Come back ! Let us look what happen when installing Linux in the system . Simply they create their boot files and install on the system . So when with in the Windows OS , it allows install linux boot files . The process is called as multibooting ( Boot different OS with in a system ) . If we install linux OS first , it add their boot files to the system . So currently the system has only one OS and this is the default OS too . After that windows installatons done by the user , it changes the linux boot files order and install windows boot files . So the postions are changed and can nott run either OS . How can we fix this problem ? Let us look these steps .
Steps to install windows OS [ Using Linux CD/USB ]
- After installing the Linux OS , It has some memory needed . So we should install Windows OS in the remaining memory or a new drive .
- You can create a partion for windows using Gparted in ubuntu .
- Insert your windows bootable CD or USB to the drive and install windows
- So after that installations linux OS is reusable now .
- Insert the live Linux CD/USB and open terminal by ctrl+alt+T
- Install boot-repair using the following commands
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:yannubuntu/boot-repair && sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install -y boot-repair && boot-repair
- After sucessull installations , boot-repair open automatically and select Recommend repair from that
- So after that a new GRUB file added and you can get the dual boot OS in your system
Steps to install windows OS [ From windows OS ]
- Insert your windows bootable CD or USB to the drive . Continue the general process like time , date , region .
- Choose the memory partions or new drive for installing windows OS . Continue your installations process by pressing next untill finish the process .
- So you sucessfully install windows OS . It changes the boot options and it effect the linux booting also .
- Login in to windows OS and Install EasyBCD tool . This is a tool used to change and repair boot options .
- After sucessfull installtions on windows OS . Run EasyBCD software .
- Add NEWENTRY from the EasyBCD tool box .
- Select Linux/BSD from the list and choose Yes to restart the boot .
