Dual boot Linpus/XP

My sister just got the Pink acer and wants to put Linpus on it. I have the 8 gb linpus version so I have the linpus recovery disk. I would like to set up the xp computer to dual boot both, would that be reasonably possible and if so how would I do it?

Also- does the xp version acer come with a recovery disk? I was wondering if we lost it or if it just never came with one.

 

Dualbooting will work fine. I dualbooted XP and Ubuntu. To install Linpus, download Unetbootin (Google it), plug your USB-stick in the computer, start Unetbootn, choose Linpus from det list, and press OK. Now It will download Linpus, move it to your USB-stick, and make it bootable. After it's done, press "Reboot now", and press F12 when it reboots. (When the Acer thing pops up). Choose the USB-stick, and boot Linpus.

About the XP recoverydisk. I didn't get it either. So i don't think it's in the box

 

hey i got mine from greatuniversal (catalouge couldnt find one anywere else)
and mine came with a win xp recovery disc and its completely feasible to dual boot i did mines running tiny vista and xp just download a partition program (gparted or EASEUS Partition Manager 3.0(what i used the freehome edition)just split the main partittion which i beleive is called acer in half
9well i did ) download linpus here http://www.linpus.com/download_1.php put on disc boot from it install it on the blank partition thats their and you may have to edit thee boot manger you may have to search for it but it should work a treat (i use xp for general use (spore and other games also) and tiny vista for other bits an pieces anyway any other questions just message me

 

Thanks for the replys.

I've tried many things but all have been dead ends. I made a usb recovery stick for linpus(from the cd that came with my computer). I made sever partitions with EASEUS Partition Manager, but when I try to boot from the usb stick and install linpus it doesn't show all of the partitions...the only option is the use the whole disk.

I also downloaded the linpus iso from the link provided by oninjao, but when I try to boot from the usb stick with that on it, either it just boots xp or it gets error 17.

 

Say how about what I did, I installed Virtual Box under Windows XP and run Linpus as a virtual machine. Works.
