1 Migrating from XP to Linux: A Phased Approach Starting with a Duel Boot System. September 2, 2013 Windows XP goes out of service in April Current estimates are that about 38% of computers worldwide run XP. In April 2014, some 10% of US computers will still be running XP. In China, this number soars to 65%! Upgrading to Windows 8 will be costly for low income people, small businesses, and nonprofits. Older hardware often will have performance issues when running Windows 8. There is an alternative to consider. Try Linux. At first, you may want to keep XP for a while... before making a permanent commitment. Let's look at creating a duel boot machine that let s you use both. This article presents a simple case of creating a duel boot Mint13/WinXP system using an older machine without UEFI. It assumes the user has a single hard drive with XP residing on a partition (C drive) that takes up the whole hard disk. I have chosen Mint 13 Mate to use for the Linux distribution in this example because I find it works well on older machines and is an easy transition for XP refugees. Note: You can install Mint inside XP. This article does not use this approach. Here we will make an independent, native Mint boot option. Important If you use a laptop, keep it plugged in. Print this document if you can. This process can go wrong.back-up all of your XP files, Make a list of your installed programs. Uninstall unused programs. If you have CCleaner run it and clear out all of the junk. Defrag the C drive. First we need to make another partition for Linux on the drive. It s a good idea to make a label on your XP partition. You can skip this, but later you may have difficulty determining exactly which partition belongs to XP. Start XP: Go to: ControlPanel->AdministrativeTools->ComputerManagement->DiskManagement

2 *I am using a tiny test system, so my partitions are much smaller than yours. Above, the C drive takes up the entire disk. We want to label the XP partition so we won't get confused later on. Right-click the partition showing in disk management and choose properties. Put a name in the box on the general tab... one that you will remember like: XpPartition. Write down how much free space there is on the C drive and what the total size of the drive is. Close computer management. I only have 6.22 GB of free space on the C drive. (This is going to be tight, but will just make it.) You will need a minimum of 5Gb for the new Mint partition. You don't want the new partition to take up all of XP's free space. XP can t run when it s C drive is full. Reboot into a Mint live CD session and shrink the XP partition (C drive) First, remove any un-needed removable drives, then reboot the machine into a Mint live-cd session. You will see a desktop. Don't click Install Linux Mint yet. Instead, go to the menu and find gparted then click it. (You can also open the terminal application and run: gksu gparted) You can see your XP partition (C drive) (part yellow for used space and part white for unused

3 space). If you labeled it in XP, you will see your label (mine is XpPartition) in the gparted table. The XP partition is an ntfs type file system. If you have more than one partition, then one of them is probably an XP recovery partition and/or a utility partition that were installed by the manufacturer or distributer (common with laptops). In gparted, right-click the XP partition and pick Resize/Move. Now, starting at the right hand side of the partition's graphic representation, drag the right side towards the left. Do not move the partition, just resize it from the right... keep the left-hand side in exactly the same spot. Remember, leave at least a few Gb of unused space on the XP partition. You need at least 5Gb for Mint, but feel free to make it larger as space allows. Click resize/move. Then, to make it actually happen, you will also have to click Menu- Edit>Apply All Operations. Accept the warning. The shrink will take a while, don't try to stop it. When it's done click close, then close gparted.

4 Install Mint A note: Mint needs 2 partitions to work properly, a main partition and a swap partition. The swap partition is similar to the pagefile in an XP machine. We are going to manually create these two partitions. With a live CD session running, we can now double-click the Install Linux Mint icon. It begins with welcome pages. Installation Dialog Pages: Frame 1, pick your language Frame 2 Installation type page 1 (pick something else) Frame 3 Installation type page 2 Click on the free space. Then click add.

5 In the add window, make a new partition that is 2Gb smaller than the entire free space. Click the Primary radio button if you have 1 or 2 partitions already or the logical radio button if you have more than 2 partitions already. If at any point the installer barks at you about no more than 4 primary partitions, then you need to go back and use logical partitions. Size = at least 2Gb smaller than the entire free space. Click the Beginning radio button Use as Ext4... Mount point / Click OK. This will take you back to the Installation type page 2. You will now see that you have a new partition of type ext4. Now, click on the free space again and click add. Make a new partition that is about 2Gb and use it as swap area *note: mine is smaller than recommended Click OK. Now you have at least three partitions, one ntfs, one ext4, and one swap

6 Next, Click Install Now. The next 2 frames are self explanatory. When you are asked for a password, make certain you know your shift-lock is off and type a memorable password. (Make the password simple for now. You can change it later.) Also check the box for log in automatically. Again, you can change this later. On the next window, I never import XP accounts. Installing will take a while. When done, restart now. Don't forget to take out the live CD.

7 When you restart, you will get a boot menu that has several choices.. Scroll down and pick Microsoft Windows XP. When it first starts it may do a file system check in a blue screen. Let it run. It may reboot again on its own and you will once again need to scroll down the boot menu to XP. After verifying XP, now reboot and try your Linux Mint boot option. Using Linux after having always used Windows will be a learning experience. Be patient. With your duel boot you'll be able to work with, and learn, Linux and still have a familiar resort. After a while, if you are like me and many others, you will find that you rarely, if ever, boot into XP. Use the Linux forums as you go along and, after you get comfortable, definitely look for questions that you can help with.
