Re: [LINUX_Newbies] Dual boot-up

No. You do not need to go to the BIOS.

As part of the installation process the Linux distribution write a menu to
the MBR of the first boot drive. This will give you a choice at boot time
between the various operating systems. Linux can share a drive or it can be
installed on the separate drive. It is your choice and ultimately depends on
the size of the drive and how full it is. It is a good idea to defrag
Windows first, if you plan on sharing the Windows drive.
