I know the same idea has been posted hundreds of time before but I couldn't find ANYTHING that helped me. So, let's move on shall we? I have windows xp sp1. I want to run a simple linux and xp side by side(like shut down xp then load linux), so i can work better server set ups. I am not good at this at all!! (the most i've done is reinstall xp) So I need it to be simple. Just to let you know I have like 50 cd-r's with me and a cd-rw drive (hope that might help, becuase i've seen alot of things where you have to burn an image or whatever). THX!
