Linux on Windows Dynamic Disk?

peergynt_lwb · 03-07-2006, 10:09 PM

I know this must be an overkilled topic, but I just can't seem to find the right answer no matter how much I surf the net.

I've got a Windows Dynamic Disk with Windows installed on the first volume. Can I install Linux on a second volume?

Please give me some general advice. Thanks!

Thanks spacedude89, I created the Dynamic Disk so I could mirror my Windows boot partition.

I guess there'd be no other way to install Linux except to swap-out the Windows disk for a brand new one?
