<font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif">You'd be better off
installing both windows and linux onto the hard disk, then choosing
which one you want to run at boot time.<br>
<br>
The way to do it is install windows first, but leave unpartitioned
space on the hard disk. Maybe half of it? Then install linux and get it
to use the free space for itself. During the install linux should
detect that windows is already there and install a boot loader which
will let you choose which OS to run when you turn the computer on.<br>

<br>
My laptop died, so did my partners so we brought one laptop however she
does not want linux installed on it.<br>
<br>
Is it possible to install linux to a usb memory stick and just have it
boot from the memory stick when I want to use the laptop? and does
anyone know of any issues that may arise with the hardware (So I can be
prepared in advance)<br>
<br>
If so what version would be capable? The laptop is an Asus F8 Series<br>
