Dual Boot Kali with Windows

Kali Linux Dual Boot with Windows

Installing Kali alongside a Windows installation can be quite

useful. However, you need to exercise caution during the setup

process. First, make sure that youve backed up any important

data on your Windows installation. Since youll be modifying

your hard drive, youll want to store this backup on external

media. Once youve completed the backup, we recommend you

peruse Kali Linux Hard Disk Install, which explains the normal

procedure for a basic Kali install.

In our example, we will be installing Kali Linux alongside an

installation of Windows 7, which is currently taking up 100% of

the disk space in our computer. We will start by resizing our

current Windows partition to occupy less space and then

proceed to install Kali Linux in the newly-created empty

partition.

Download Kali Linux and either burn the ISO to DVD, or

prepare a USB stick with Kali linux Live as the installation

medium. If you do not have a DVD or USB port on your

computer, check out the Kali Linux Network Install. Ensure you

Minimum of 8 GB free disk space on Windows

CD-DVD / USB boot support

Preparing for the Installation

1. Download Kali Linux.

2. Burn The Kali Linux ISO to DVD or copy Kali Linux Live

to USB.

3. Ensure that your computer is set to boot from CD / USB

in your BIOS.

Dual Boot Installation Procedure

1. To start your installation, boot with your chosen

installation medium. You should be greeted with the

Kali Boot screen. Select /LYH, and you should be booted

into the Kali Linux default desktop.

2. Now launch the JSDUWHG program. Well use JSDUWHG

to shrink the existing Windows partition to give us

enough room to install Kali Linux.

3. Select your Windows partition. Depending on your

system, it will usually be the second, larger partition. In

our example, there are two partitions; the first is the

System Recovery partition, and Windows is actually

installed in /dev/sda2. Resize your Windows partition

and leave enough space (8GB minimum) for the Kali

installation.

4. Once you have resized your Windows partition, ensure

you Apply All Operations on the hard disk. Exit

JSDUWHG and reboot.

Kali Linux Installation Procedure

1. The installation procedure from this point onwards is

similar to a Kali Linux Hard Disk install, until the point

of the partitioning, where you need to select Guided

use the largest continuous free space that you created

earlier with JSDUWHG.

2. Once the installation is done, reboot. You should be

greeted with a GRUB boot menu, which will allow you

to boot either into Kali or Windows.
