dual boot system on Epson Endeavor

1. Disk size:

debian-noriko: 40GB

EPSON1211847755: 71.8GB

Let’s assign  20GB for Windows XP, 50GB for Debian jessie.

2.  System space of EPSON:

Windows: 9.26GB (8.56GB on Disk)

Documents and Settings: 1.37GB (1.38GB9

Program Files:  1.98GB (1.94GB)

disk C:  17.1GB used, 54.6GB free,  71.8GB total

3. One might shrink the windows partition and create new  partition for debian beforehand using Gparted-live-disc. Actually I did it successfully but it was rather complicated.  I prefer the follwong.

4. On the working XP (actually recovered by Acronis TI), squash the content of disc C. MyDefrag is more effective than windows’ original defrag. You might confirm the final squashed state by windows disc tool defrag.

5. Boot from debian-8.2.0-amd64.netinst.iso. (Proceed with eth0.)

6. At disc partitioning stag:

6.1 Resize (shrink) the C partition to ~20GB, leaving ~55GB free space.

6.2 Select ( click and enter?) that free space, and partition it in automatic mode, of which separate partitions was chosen this time.

7. Desktop environment, gdm, xcf, kde, web browser, print server,.. were selected.

8. At boot loader setting stage, you can set grub setting to leave windows partition intact.

9. After the installation completed, wifi usb chip (elecom WDC-150SU2M) driver is introduced following ’15/09/15 post. HP Envy 4500 is also set following  the same post.
