I would like to know how to install Linux onto a windows sp2 xp but it’s a factory computer. I want to know how to install it with the drivers still intact and my windows still functioning and usable.

    find partition software (Paragon or similar) partition off about 15-20gb and then install the linux distro on the extra space.

    it’s called dual-booting. No need for partitioning software, most Linux distros come with their own partitioner.

    Watch this video. it’s kinda childish, but it shows the process:

    Yes, you can install, if you have sufficient space(extended) on your hdd……
    Just insert the bootable cd of LINUX into cdrom and start the system………
