  • @Zombiegod95 It is generally setup when you install it. If you setup with WUBI it is pretty much automatic, and if you set it right it will do it with a live CD as well. Generally the popular option is grub.

  • size 1440x900 not found in available modes , anyway round this please

  • not that this is part of the video but how do u duel boot with windows 7?
