Hello there, I've just read an article titled A Beginner's Guide to Dual Booting Linux Mint and Windows XP. I'm interested in giving Linux mint a whirl, without deleting windows XP, so this article sounds good to me, but I have one question. Assuming I successfully install Linux mint in a new partition, what will I see each time I boot my computer? i.e. will there be a screen each time asking whether I want to boot up in Linux or windows, or will I have to change settings in order to set which OS boots up?

If everything goes right you will get a menu - usually with a default setting that runs after a certain amount of time passes.
