Is there a way to dual boot Q4OS alongside Windows?

Re: Dual Boot ?

Sure, the preferred way is to proceed installation from 'Live' CD, as it gives you bootloader install option. If you let installer to install Grub bootloader, it will autodetect available operating systems including Windows and offer them all on every boot. If you want to keep Windows bootloader, do not remember to uncheck related checkbox during installation. Please read this http://www.q4os.org/dqa007.html#inst

We strongly recommend to backup all your data before.

I did a dual-boot Win H8 and Q4OS. I used Boot Repair CD to get the grub to play nice with both systems.

My Desktop which has Dual Boot Q4OS fixed itself.  After rebooting it a few times the original filesystem showed up in GRUB2 as a boot option. And, I don't have WinCrap on that computer so I can't accuse WinShaft of more Please, Please we beg you to take our WinCrap 10 for Free smile
