[News] [Linux] Vista Out the Windows, GNU/Linux on the Desktop

Assembling the Linux PC

| The Vista Out My Windows
| 
| You may recall that I had a dual-boot setup with WinXP SP2 on the other 
| hard drive. Well, after I had the 8800GTS purring like a kitten under 
| Linux, I decided to work on the WinXP side. Windows should be easy,
| right? After all, we're always fed that Windows has tons of seamless
| hardware support...
| 
| Wrong. This was the recipe for disaster. I have yet to get the
| WinXP partition to boot, even in Safe Mode. Safe Mode should
| bypass any driver compatibility issues by loading generic 
| drivers. The net result of every attempt comes to an endless
| loop of reboots. Remember that Linux booted through the very
| first time without issue or complaint.
