Assignment Nine - Dual Boot Windows and Linux Using Grub Boot Loader
This assignment is the installation of two operating systems on the same computer in a Dual Boot Configuration using the Linux Grub Boot Loader.
Turn on your computer to verify it is in a working state. (Always do this first!) You should have a working Linux Ubuntu system from the last lab.

Verify your BIOS has been setup to boot first from a CD-ROM or Flash drive -- this depends on the media you have your install data on

Insert your installation media for the Windows Operating System.

Once you have installed the OS, do the following:
  • Setup the Admin account username -- comadmin
  • Setup the Admin account password -- G00dPa55w0rd
  • Set up an ordinary User Account username -- comuser
  • Set up an ordinary User Account password -- G00dPa55w0rd
  • Create 2 disk partitions
  • Change the desktop image
  • Set the power options for turning off the computer
Restart your computer and log in as both users to make sure they work
