    Hi,

    I have an Aspire one with the following spec:
    120gb HDD
    1gb RAM (As it came)
    Linpus Pre-Installed
    and the rest is the same as every other one.

    I would like to know how I can Dual Boot Linpus pre-install and Windows XP.

    On a previous laptop I have dual booted it with XP pre-install and Ubuntu which was quite easy as I use grub to select between the two. I also used Start-Up manager to default boot into XP rather than ubuntu. So I am quite familiar with partitioning the hard drive and installing the os.

    I have never used a machine with Linux pre-installed and put XP on it. From what I have read I see that when you install XP you it removes grub from the system. Is there a way to keep grub so that i can select between Linpus and XP.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated
