To make a dual boot with Windows 10 and Oracle Linux 8.9
You can download Windows 10 iso image from the following site
You can download the Oracle Linus 8.9 iso image from the following site
Download Oracle Linux 8.9 ISO image
Download latest rufus software from the internet and make a bootable pendrive for both the windows and linux OS.
First install the Windows 10 OS with the Windows bootable pendrive.
Next install the Linux OS with the Linux bootable pendrive. Once Linux is installed, rebooting the system will directly boot into Linux. To get a dual boot option following need to be done.
As root user edit /etc/grub.d/40_custom file and append to the end the following lines. Make sure not to delete the existing line.
menuentry "Windows 10" {
set root=(hd0,1)
chainloader +1
}
After editing and saving /etc/grub.d/40_custom file run the following command as the root user.
grub2-mkconfig --output=/boot/grub2/grub.cfg
Output will show Generating grub configuration file ...
done
Now on rebooting the system you will get the option to boot into linux or Windows 10. Based on your preference you can boot into either OS.
To view Windows C drive and D drive from Linux
Prerequisites - an internet connection from linux OS.
As root user issue the fdisk -l command
[root@oraclelinux home]# fdisk -l

Accessing external hard drive from linux
If you want to access an external harddrive, an explicit mount is not required. In Oracle Linux 8.9, when you connect the hard disk to the USB port, you can access the files from the following path
/run/media/******/New Volume
No additional mounting is required.
Same is with a pendrive. On Oracle linux 8.9 once you connect the pendrive to the USB port you can access it from /run/media/******/PENDRIVE
****** - is the user from which you will login to
Create a local yum repository from oracle linux 8.9 iso image
create a directory in which you want to mount the iso image of oel 8.9.mkdir /home/temp/oeliso
mount -o loop /home/softwares/OracleLinux-R8-U9-x86_64-dvd.iso /home/temp/oeliso
