Question about Windows and Linux

(1/2) > >>

3DSexVilla:
If i install Windows and Linux on the same PC, does it affects the HDD of the Windows?

Example:

If i download a virus using Linux in which works on Windows, can the virus go to Windows HDD?

Terrorfist:
It won't hurt to have Linux and Windows at one computer (Requires Drive Partitioning)

But I don't know about the virus  :-\

[MAF]Karlis:
viruses are made to work with different OS'es, and linux is practically virus-free.
this, in fact, is one of the best schemes of how to bring broken OS back to life - boot the other OS.
however, to make it hassle-free, you need to install them in different paritions and linux must be installed last, because windows bootloader wouldn't find it, while linux (newer ones preferred) can find windows.
