Tripple booting made easy with Hardy Heron [Hack Your Day]
Tripple booting made easy with Hardy Heron
Now that the new Ubuntu release has come out tripple booting has become very easy. I am now trip booting XP, Vista abd Ubuntu. I have a multitude of reasons for having all three, I am making Ubuntu my full time OS as you know, but Vista still has its merits. For starters, I know it better, so if I need something done quickly thats still where I go. I use XP for the little gaming I do, about once a week I get together with a friend and play some games, XP is still the best for that.
If you take a look at APCmag, you’ll quickly find instructions for double booting Xp and Vista, regardless of wich one you have installed first. Then comes the beauty of Hardy Heron, the WUBB install system. This enables you to install Ubuntu from within the Vista environment and Ubuntu will be added to the Windows bootloader. Since I really hate trying to find out how to get Grubb to boot Windows this was a Godsent and now I’m happily and easily booting all three systems.
As a side note, my Feisty used to take at least 3 minutes to load, an error which I read about, but failed to resolve. They seemed to have fixed it in Hardy, so now I don’t spend more than a minute booting any of the three, hip-hip-hooray to Hary and the Ubuntu team.
