Dual Boot or Dual Booting is the process of installing more than one operating system on a single computer, and being able to select which one to boot from when switching on the power. Dual booting becomes possible with a program known as Boot Loader.
Dual booting is helpful in several circumstances, like those where many piece of application programs need for different operating system and can’t be run on single computer. The dual boot method will allow you to use all of these application programs on single machine. Dual boot is also useful in case when you want to test the new operating system without completely switching to new one. Due boot allows you to get to know the system. It is very helpful for the software developer who requires more than one software for developing and testing purposes.
Sometimes different operating systems may create problems with your system and compatibility issues may come up with them. One operating system may not be able to place the file system of other operating system and therefore may try to format it to its local file system by erasing existing data. This happens generally when the file systems are on the separate partitions on one hard drive. Sometimes a system administrator must configure one operating system manually to ignore the other partition to allow multiple file systems.
