Vista and PcLinuxOs the easy way

Not that anybodies interested but  I got both of these goodies to reside on my puter. Vista on the
internal HD. Pclinuxos on a USB external HD. No crappy Grub to mess you up.
My reason for doing this is, I had an extra HD sitting around doing nothing and I like to play
Solitaire to relax. Nobody to argue with me doing that :bg
I think it will only involve hitting F2 and changing the BIOS temporarily when I want to go into
Pclinuxos. The game can be found in the repository and is called Kpatience. It has about
10 different Solitaire games. My cake and eat it to. That's all I am going to use Pclinuxos for.
It was a hassle mainly because of hard to follow ISO burners and free burners that contain
malware. I will only use "Infrarecorder" with "Clonezilla" and use "ImgBurn" for anything else
I do. As far as I can tell Infrarecorder puts things on a live cd that you do not want and
ruin the burn.

Hi shankle,

grub4dos is very popular and it can boot Windows and some versions of Linux :

Hi Vortex,
I'm trying my best to stay away from GRUB and the Sudo commands.
Today I found out I can have my cake and eat it to, so to speak.

Ex: Windows Vista on the main HD. Pclinuxos on the Ext. USB  HD
When I power up if the ext. usb hd mechanical switch is turned off I get
Vista. If I power up with the Mechanical switch ON on the Ext  USB HD
I get Pclinuxos. Don't have to fool with changing the BIOS.
Works great.
Already played my 1st Solitaire on PcLinuxOs. It's in a package that
can be loaded from the Repository "Kdegames". They have tons of
other games also.
