Running Linux with Windows

You can install both Linux and Windows on your computer, although only one operating system is running the computer at any given time. A menu is displayed when your computer starts, allowing you to select which operating system to boot. Each operating system is installed in a separate section of your hard disk, called a partition.Making Room for Linux Before Installation" in this chapter.

If you don't know whether you have one or two hard disks or how your hard disk is partitioned, you can use Windows Administrative Tools to look at your hard drive, as described in the following section, "Examining Your Hard Drive."
