I plan to install 2 OS on 1 hard drive. As far as I know, Windows can only be installed on an NTFS file system disk; for Linux, ext2 / 3/4 is needed. Is it possible to specify different file systems for the main partitions to install different OS?
- Yes you can. But the partition on which Linux is installed is better to be extended, since it will also have a swap partition, possibly home (at your discretion). - mkkik
- yes no difference. What section, what file system - maint

Yes, this can be done. At the beginning, install the Window, then install Linux. The main grub loader. Everything works correctly.

- This moment is still interesting. The disc has the first 100 MB under Windows bootloader. What will happen to the Linux loader? I somehow tried to install Mint, as a result, Windows remained, but I rubbed the bootloader and Grub got up there (which Windows did not see), but then I did not properly address the issue of disk division. Need to modify the bootloader as described here ? - Dmitresso
- You do not need to modify the windows loader. What is the order of actions, install windows, then using windows means allocate additional disk space (100 - 200 GB) as needed, When installing Ubuntu, or specify what Windows is or allocate free space manually, and mount windows disks. At the end, grub is installed which sees the records for download and in the menu it offers to download either windows or ubuntu, there you can configure what to load by default. I use this driver to browse Linux partitions - Yaroslav
- Thank you, everything is clear) - Dmitresso

Yes, the two systems get along well on the same local disk, for example, when installing Ubuntu, you can choose "Install Ubuntu Together with Windows" and the installation will automatically do everything, but it's better to do everything by hand, just do not forget about the paging file (like 4GB asks) to mark as Swap, and the main disk - Ext4, Good luck!
