    Dual booting Linspire and Windows?

    Hey everyone I was wondering how do I dual boot Linspire and Windows? Also I can't afford Click and Run at this time but I was wondering how hard is it to manually install the programs yourself? I know theres a ton of programs for free through Click and Run but yet you have to pay to use the service to get the programs for free? For example Phonegaim completely free but you have to pay linspire to use click and run in order to get it. Any help greatly appreciated.

    never mind about dual booting i just read a guide saying that you must make the partitions first and then install windows on the one partition and then linspire on the other. so in other words id be reinstalling windows oh well looks like ill have to wait to get a seperate pc.

    You can use a utility such a PartitionMagic to resize the partition rather than recreating it and thereby skip the need to re-install windows. I can't stress enough to back up your data first before using such a utility. Good luck.

    I have had some success using http://www.sysresccd.org/ , a bootable cd, and running qtparted to adjust my partitions.
