i want the procedure to install linux from ISOs stored on my harddisk running the windows OS. i have made partitions for the linux OS as well as the swap space..........using partition magic..............is it possible thru emulation.if yes.......please give any relevant link or the detailed procedure.thanx!!!!
u should have the isos in a fat32 partition.
then burn the iso from the images folder from the iso of the 1st CD/DVD
boot with "linux askmethod"
and select hard disk for installation.
give the path and partition
finished
where did you get the isos from? They must be on a CD or DVD. Get that to someone who has a writer and then burn the iso on a CD.
I don't know weather you can do this using alcohol. I think you cannot.
I remember, in Mandrake, I extracted the first ISO using WinRAR and in the boot folder in it, I found a manual to make a boot floppy and boot to install via HDD. Check if you see it.
u can use virtual pc or vm ware if u jus wanna see it...
Which distro ISOs do you have?
If you have an iso of a live cd then you can use this :-
