ROS and Win7 together on 1 HD

Post by PeterLinuxer »

Hello.
I would like to install ReactOS with an existing Windows 7 on my harddisk (without getting rid of Windows). Is that possible?

Thanks for any help
Peter

Yes it is. It would however be a big mistake, don't do it. Read the ReactOS installation instructions. The link is one of those in my signature.

Well, you could do it without any issues (I think) by using 2 partitions. One that contains Windows 7 and the other contains ReactOS. Then you just set up a way to do a dual boot between them.

Not on a system where you want to retain your data.
