<a name="l6"></a>Dual booting with another operating system is the best way to use ZealOS. It is often used in a virtual machine because it
<a name="l7"></a>won't boot natively on some machines, though. For native dual booting, you need a partition for ZealOS. Windows often
<a name="l8"></a>comes with a restore disk that does not allow repartitioning. It's recommended to connect a spare additional hard drive and
<a name="l9"></a>use the </span><span class=cF2>BIOS</span><span class=cF0> to select which drive to boot.

<a name="l15"></a>Two ZealOS partitions are highly recommended, so you can boot to a back-up and fix the primary when you work on it. Odds are,
