I ORIGINALLY INSTALLED THE XP SYSTEM, AND NOW I WANT TO CHANGE TO THE LINUX SYSTEM, WILL THE DATA OF

If you want to play Linux, you can install a virtual machine with VMware.

It's simple and won't hurt your system.

In addition, there are products on the stationmaster's group **, cheap ***.

Looking at the technology, if there is no free partition, you have to format a partition, and that partition is the partition where the system is installed, and the data is lost. Since XP is no longer used, the original partition cannot be recognized.

If you install it after formatting the C drive, the data of the C drive is gone.

The other plates are fine.

Since Linux partitioning is a very challenging thing for beginners, if you just want to try Linux, it is recommended to use Wubi to install Ubuntu Linux, which is very simple.

Basically, it's just to open the Ubuntu disc under Windows, double-click, next, next, and that's it.

After the restart, you can choose to enter XP or Ubuntu, and there is a **tutorial here.

You can put the required data on a disk other than the C disk, format the C disk when installing Linux, and mount the other disks as data disks. Disk data that has not been formatted will not be lost.

One of the steps in the installation process is to select the partition, and in that step, select the installation disk to be formatted and the data disk to be mounted.

However, newbies are advised to make a backup of their data before installation. After all, multiple backups are not a bad thing.

Only the C disk will be lost, and its macro world will not.

First, look at where your data is.

Second, the partition where the data is located is not formatted when it is reinstalled.

For example, if your data is stored in the home partition, and you choose to mount it instead of formatting it when reinstalling, the original data will still be retained.

However, if your data exists under the partition or in the user partition, then your data will evaporate.

In addition, if you have a Windows partition, if you don't move it or mount only FAT when installing Linux, you won't lose your data.

Look at your data storage**.

The root partition definitely has to be formatted, and the others can choose not.

Basically, yes, Linux doesn't do this well enough.

You can use PM to divide partitions losslessly, you can divide C drive into dozens of G to D drive, or copy out the data in the partition behind D disk and D drive, delete two partitions in disk management, and then create a new partition Lu Shijing Min Suo Gensheng Lin Liao Wu Gong Yu Mei Chun Yu Wan Si talk about Ling Zhong.

No, I've tried it all. I had no issues with 2003 and linux on top of the virtual machine. The prompt that the data on the hard disk will be erased refers to the data on the virtual disk. The data in the virtual machine is separate from the data in the real hard disk.

Also, the VM needs to be installed in 2003 to run!

You mount the windos disk in linux first, see if the data is still there, if it is still there, you can recover it, if it is not there, you can only find a hard disk recovery company.

You can also insert an XP disc and restore it, or it may be that the boot partition is corrupted.

No way: Windows and Linux partition formats are completely different formats No way.

You can see what the partition format is, whether the maintenance personnel changed the original disk partition format from FAT32 to NTFS, or NTFS to FAT32. The format must be agreed upon in disk. Because FAT32 is not upwards compatible.

This leads to the situation you are in. It is recommended that you unify the partitions in the installed system. After installing the system, remember to use ghost backup, and also back up regedit.

It's annoying to install the system.

It is very likely that he will give you a grid but no partition, the information in it cannot be found, if there is very important information, go to the data recovery center to recover it, but it is very expensive.

Reloading, that's all it can be.

If you reinstall the whole drive will be lost, it will not be lost if you restore it on the C drive alone.

I can't find it back, and the computer stores have a way. Because the file system format of the Linux system is different from the XP, the hard disk must be formatted every time the system is installed, and the file has been overwritten when installing Linux, and then the XP is installed and the hard disk is formatted again, what else do you want to get back?

There's no way to reinstall the system.,And ext3's and ntfx's original format is different.,It can be restored.。

Find a data recovery company, and your situation will be solved in two or three hundred; If you do it yourself, be careful of causing secondary damage to your data.

Of course it will be because the file system used by Linux is not NTFS or FAT32, so he will format your C drive, and the format of the C drive will become ext3 (generally using ext3 file system) So when you want to install, you should think about how much space to allocate to the Linux system, first allocate some space in advance, for example, if your F drive has 100G, you can divide the F drive into 50G F, and 50G G disk; You just put the operating system in the G drive, don't worry, it will format the other disks.

Do you mean to install Linux to a C drive? If your WinXP system files are on the C drive, then if you install Linux on the C drive, then the C drive will be formatted when you install it on Linux, and the Win's system files will be gone, and you can install Linux with a different drive letter, so as not to delay using the Win XP operating system.

It's possible! Maybe it's a bit of a necessity, because the system formats the hard drive differently!
