How to dual-boot Vista with Linux (Adding Linux on Vista machine)
If you want to explore and enjoy both Vista and Linux world in a single PC, then you have to configure your PC to handle dual-boot system. It may sound difficult but it’s really within the knowledge of average computer users. Here are the steps to add Linux on your Vista system for a dual boot.
1. Boot into Windows Vista and shrink the Vista partition to free up some space
Note: There are third party software for shrinking hard drive partition but some are not fully compatible with Vista. So, it is best to use Vista’s native partition tool.
Go to Disk Management - right-click “My Computer”, Manage, Disk Management.
Right-click on the main Vista partition and select Shrink Volume
Set the amount of space to shrink in MB. (It is best to have at least 10GB shrink space for your Linux)
