I wouldn't necessarily wipe the whole HD, just the windows partition. You could also use Xen in CentOS 5 for your Windows virtualization. I'd wait for 5.1 though which will be more refined then version 5. I've been thinking of setting up a Xen machine of my own with a Windows HVM and a couple of Linux PVMs with their GUIs/consoles pinned to different virtual consoles. It has always

Some thoughts, for anyone faced with this type of problem on a dual boot box in the future: My first thought was to try to Rescue the WinXP Spanish language installation that came on the Dell Dimension 2400, out of the Dell factory. Later, I decided to wipe the entire drive, since I now have a WinXP English language Restore CD and I wanted to redo CentOS5, so I would have room to experiment with

We rarely use M$ Windows, but I let my daughter surf pbskids.org while using Windows and a Trojan Horse modified or deleted the user32.dll file. I found the instructions on the Microsoft Support web site, and it would be very easy for me to expand a new copy of user32.dll if I could get the MS WinXP CD to work. It boots OK, I press a key so it will search hardware and it then has hard drive

Hey list, I have an older 2005 Uniwill 259ia3 with a Phoenix bios. Flash booting is limited to keys 512 MB or less! Here's my setup recipe: used the HP utility v. 2.0.6 giving me this geometry ---------------- fdisk -l ----------- Disk /dev/sdb: 493 MB, 493879296 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 60 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes Device Boot Start

So I've been playing with this for hours and still unable to get everything working properly. In short I'm trying to boot an ISO image created by BartPE over pxelinux. When I attempt to do this it goes directly to a blank screen that just has a blinking cursor. Here's what my setup looks like: pebuilder.iso - the ISO file created from BartPE using WinXP SP2 CD as source but with

Hello, I have a dual-boot PC where Windows 7 is on one hard-drive and CentOS 6.7 is on another. Today I stupidly decided to update Windows 7 to Windows 10, but had nothing but BSOD. I then used Windows 10 to go back to Windows 7, but instead I again have BSOD. Anyone know how I can make a boot USB key so that I can re-install Windows 7 and then repair GRUB? Thank you, Brian Bernard

Hi, I WAS experiencing a problem while attempting to boot Knoppix V5.0.1 off a USB key using SYSLINUX. Having almost sent the following text as a request for help I can now tag it as a solution! :) The USB drive is a Corsair Flash Voyager 1024 MB, with a 745 MB partition I'm trying (now succesfully) to use for the purpose of booting Knoppix. I've followed the instructions on this

We're using PXELINUX for bootstrapping the network install our Linux cluster nodes. We just got some new IBM 326m dual-Opteron servers with Broadcom NetXtreme BCM5780 dual-Gigabit Ethernet ports. These dual-Ethernet servers work in an annoying way with PXELINUX when we configure for booting from the local hard disk as the PXE-client downloads this file from the DHCP/TFTP server: label

It seems to me to work reasonably well with ext4. Does

If free space on a drive is available at time of installation, CentOS will let you install itself into it, and it will even offer to put its boot

Can someone point me to instructions on booting BartPE with pxelinux.0 over the network. Thanks.

Hi - I have an Engineering lab that was set up to dual boot with windows 7 and CentOS 6. This has worked just fine. I would like to get advice on doing the same with Windows 10. Steps I have tried - 1. Free up space for CentOS 7/C7 (50 gb). 2. Reboot to C7 installer. 3. Go to "SYSTEM -> INSTALLATION DESTINATION" Here I see my single Local Disk with 48.83 GiB free. I selected

i think u should have a look at the VM Appliance UDA... it is a linux destro already setup to support BartPE ISO using PXE, as well as flat installs of windows XP. the beauty of it, is that is uses a web based GUI to handle the common configurations. http://www.ultimatedeployment.org/about.html also, u can see a cople of movies i have made ab using it on youtube. www.youtube.com/hotfortech using
