I have a PC with Windows XP. I am looking 2 have it dual booted. I'm looking @ Linux as my other OS. Any advise about it?

Why would I do this? I am having a real problem with connecting 2 my player via USB under XP. I have tried 2 connect it via Ethernet, with no success.

That’s why I think I would B better off trying 2 make it a dual boot 2 Linux and XP. What R my options? What do U think?
