How can I boot Puppy Linux and Windows 7?

Q. I have Puppy Linux 4.3.1 and Windows 7 Ultimate. I'm trying to get Puppy Linux installed, but it's really confusing. I'll think I've finished it because it says the setup is done, but when I reset it just boots Windows. How can I dual boot?

This is a dual boot program. every time you turn your computer on it will go into it an you can choose which one.

However i have a suggestion. Go to the Ubuntu website and download Ubuntu 9.10 karmic koala. This automatically installs grub when it installs the OS. Plus it is still Linux, and it has tons more support.

I just downloaded Puppy Linux on a USB drive, now what?
Q. I just downloaded Puppy Linux on my USB drive, but when my computer turns on, it doesnt recognized the drive for me to install Puppy Linux... Help?

A. you have to burn it to a dvd using an image burning program, its an image file

What is your preferite linux distribution?
Q. I know only Puppy Linux.
It doesn't need any driver for my graphic, sound and network card, whereas xp needs all the drivers.
However Puppy Linux isn't as advanced as xp!..

What linux based operating system do you prefer?

A. I have only tried Ubuntu, but have used openSUSE running KDE in the university library. I'd have to say Ubuntu is a good choice for beginners. openSUSE is not that bad. It's got a lot of eyecandies.

I have downloaded five other distributions to try next month when I've got my laptop (openSUSE, Mandriva, Fedora, Debian and Linux Mint). I'll tell you my Linux stories later. :)
