Dual boot ArcaOS and Centos Linux 7

This document will show how to install ArcaOS and Centos 7 on the same hard drive. The boot selection will be controlled by the AirBoot (Arca boot manager). We assume a common desktop pc with SATA hard drive and DVD.

Basic assumptions: your hard drive is empty (already wiped clean) with no partitions. you are familiar with installing ArcaOS and Centos you have one hard drive, at least 48 GB

The main thing to remember is to only partition the hard drive with the ArcaOS tools. If Centos adds or changes partitions you will have a mess.

Boot off the ArcaOS DVD. Select: System Management

Select: Disk | Disk Utility

Since the disk is wiped ArcaOS needs to write the LVM information.

  • Click: Fix Problems


  • Click: Close

The system will shutdown. Restart with Ctrl+Alt+Del

Boot up and go into the System Management menu again.

  • Select: Disk | Manage Volumes (Graphical)

  • Click: Volume | Create | Standard | Next

Use the drive letter C and name it: arca, then click: Next

Make the size 15000 MB, uncheck use primary partition, and click: Allocate from end of free space, then click: Finish

Create drive D 15000 MB (name: linux), drive E 2000MB (name: swap). Use the same options: uncheck use primary partition, and click: Allocate from end of free space. There is still free space if later you decide to add another drive. Drive C is Arca Your screen should now look like this:
