How do you add a second operating system?

Answer by  qbus (306)

This is depending on what operating systems you want to use. If you want to use two Windows operating systems you should first install the older one (e.g. XP) and after that the newer one (Vista or 7). If you want to use Windows and Linux you have to install Windows first and Linux afterwards.

First, you need to determine how to choose your computer's Boot Device. This information can usually be obtained from the manufacturer. Next, you need to insert the Boot Media (install CD, flash drive, etc) and set your computer to boot from that media. The operating system you are trying to install should automatically handle the rest of the steps.

First you need more than one partition in your computer to install a second operating system. Then install the second operating system in the drive other than the previous operating system is installed. Then use some third party software like Easy BCD to configure your Boot-manager according to your wish.
