PC Multi-boot

因为现在电脑的hard drive容易也相当大,所以可以安装不同的系统。但是我们以前的方法都是靠Windows里的loader,但是现在很多人开始用GRUB,因为它比较简单,容易明白和使用。

这个帖子就专为PC Multi-boot来设的。

原来一般是用外置的GRUB(floppy,USB thumb drive),然后其他某几个partition,再隐蔽其他partition,然后进行安装。当安装完毕,而且启动也没有的话,那么我们就可以把GRUB安装到硬盘上。

因为USB multi-boot后,在ordinary hard drive就更加容易。现在我的USB flash drive可以boot自己USB的images,还有hard drive的Linux OS。

如果要建议multiple boot OS系统,第一部就是好好partition你的hard drive,然后在做别的,那些要先安装,那些可以后装也很重要,先用USB去boot hard drive的OS,然后再移植GRUB到hard drive里就方便多了。

一个比较大的hard drive应该怎样partition呢?而我现在是

Primary 1
Primary 2
Primary 3
Extended 4
Logical 5
Logical 6
Logical 7
Logical 8
Logical 9

应该还可以更加多的。

你的意思是平日,唔係用嚟 install

我嘅用法就同你差唔多,不過我用一個  bootstar program 做 boot manager

3. XP
4. Win 7
5. Hactintosh

差唔多 8,9 個 bootable partition

最簡單是 install bootstar and do the partition

現在做的方法是
1. 1 TB harddisk,
2. boot from a USB stick with DOS based bootstar
3. make the first partition
4. install whatever OS you want
5. boot again from the USB stick, start bootstar
6. install additional partition and create boot profile (remember under PC, you can only have 4 primary partitions, or 3 P + 1 extended, etc.)
7. For other systems, it depends.
My XP is a cloned copy from my old machine. I use Acronis True Image
My Vista needs a fresh installation, but can clone from other copy
Windows 7 needs fresh installation, cannot clone
8. Remember to make sure the order of the partition for proper boot.

For XP, edit the file boot.ini in the root directory (hidden)
[boot loader]
timeout=30
default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS
[operating systems]
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Professional" /noexecute=optin /fastdetect

9. once finished, you can have as many boot profiles as you like.

In my case, I have a boot menu like this

Ubuntu
Windows XP
Windows 7
Windows Vista
Windows XP (backup)

Hactintosh is booted from  Windows XP boot menu.

I have been a bit lazy now. Try to save the cloned copy and recovery to other partition as needed.
