Question ID: 570765 
I want to know how I can install Xandros Linux Open Circulation
Edition so it coexists with Windows XP on a single hard drive.

I have partitioned my drive with PartitionMagic 8 so that the first
100 MB are free, and then Windows XP takes up the next 40 GB.

Is there a way I can use Xandros' installation CD to install Linux,
without wiping out the XP partition? Or, should I use another method?
Answer  
There is no answer at this time.

Actually, the installation CD should 'see' the XP installation and
install in your other partition.  Here is an article:

I don't use Xandros, but it looks like a nice alternative.
