DUAL BOOTING WINDOWS XP AND BT2

Cool little tutorial I found surfing around the net:

DUAL BOOTING WINDOWS XP AND BT2

This method of dual booting will not require you to format the windows part of your hard drive and should not corrupt your current installation in anway. It also presumes that you have one partiton with Windows installed.

Insert the backtrack CD, boot up, log on as normal and 'startx'

Once you are at the desktop open up a terminal window and 'word for word' complete the following (it should take around 30 minutes to complete)

**This will repartition the empty space on your hard drive, so backup your Windows data if you are worried about losing it**

Anything in between the '&' signs are explanations of what you are doing and obviously should not be entered into the command.

If you have SATA hard drives then you will have ‘sda’ in place of ‘hda’ so edit the commands accordingly.
