ABSTRACT
If your choice is #2 or #3 above, you must be careful. Dual booting is a straightforward operation once both operating systems are installed. However, installing the second
operating system must not con ict with the initial operating system. One of the steps during a Linux installation is partitioning the le system. You must make sure, if another operating system is present, that you do not wipe out any portion of that operating system when installing the new system. Deleting the native operating system means destroying all data currently present. If you have saved that data to an external storage device, then you should be able to restore the data to another computer.
