If you are doing a clean install the easiest thing is to repartition/reformat the drive.
I would install Windows with custom size partition (half, or whatever, leaving the other half "unallocated" i.e. no partition/format), then just boot from the Linux boot USB/disk. Linux will use the unallocated ...

Good to see you around, a lot of people's plans were changed with this pandemic :/

As to the dual-boot Windows and Linux, here are a few tips.

1. It is best if you have Windows installed first, worry about Linux later.
2. Choose a modern/friendly Linux distribution, some of the most popular are ...

I had planned on roaming around the South-Eastern States by now, but then the world changed and I find myself stuck at home.

Thanks Philip, the Gigabit POE Injector is what I think I need, at least I hope so because I just ordered one. The Bullet uses pin 4 & 5 and 7 & 8 for power up to 24V. The higher the voltage, the longer the range. I will probably be putting a directional antenna on it before I am done if I can mount ...

Thanks everybody, it means a lot.

I was thinking back to when I met Lil and I came up with 52 years. I met her shortly before my mother died so it turns out I knew her longer than my mother. She was a classy lady who always gave me good advise when I asked.

I actually knew Lil before I met Larry ...

Will do Ken.

I have been very busy learning about POE from the link Philip gave me.

Thanks Philip, I now know more than I ever wanted to know about POE, but I am still not sure what to use. I think all I need is an injector because the Bullet gets its power from the Ethernet cable. All this will ...

I am very sorry for not posting this sooner. I know many of you followed minir and considered him a friend. I should have passed this on when I first heard.

Hi, Not sure if this is the right place but maybe someone can steer me in the right direction.

I am looking for a POE with a 24V output and DC volts in.

Not sure if there is such a device so any help would be appreciated.

I am curious as to why so much money is spent on getting elected to President. It can't be the salary, or the perks after. It just doesn't add up.

If Trump is truly spending his own money, wouldn't he be the logical choice. He shouldn't be in the pocket of Big Business, and who knows, maybe he ...

Girlfriend, not man and wife, unless that's an odd and badly worded reference to a man and a woman living together and having sex for 6 months.

Just curious, about the US rules. In Canada if you live as man and wife for anymore that about six months the party that is put out may be able to collect part of the homestead.

If you file joint taxes as man and wife, both have a claim unless there is a legal paper agreement first.

I think it would be great if the US elected Donald Trump as President and Canada could elect Rob Ford as Prime Minister.

Larry was actually quite sick, but he was not one to complain to others. These last two years were quite bad for him. He had been in hospital and had stints put in, he needed ten, but they were only able to do four.

Just a quick note to let you know Larry made it through his operation OK.

I just talked to Larry. They let him out of hospital this afternoon. He will be staying at his mothers for a few days so he won't be alone.

He sounded tired, but better than yesterday. I guess that can be expected after coming out of hospital.

It looks like he will be on oxygen for now as they do ...
