Secure Dual-Boot Walkthrough - uefi

I have been looking at dual-booting Ubuntu x64 over an existing UEFI Installation of Windows x64 on an ASUS laptop.
I can't find any decent walkthroughs on how to dual-boot with UEFI without disabling it. I understand I will have to Shrink Volume on Windows etc. but where do I go from there? Is it a special image or will the Ubuntu x64 Rolling-release work?
Any guidance is appreciated, but I can't find a solid walk-through on this. Many thanks!

Operating System not found on VMWare Pro 2015

I attempt to install WinXP file on vmware using iso file with all settings below:
image1
However, when running, the console tells me that Operating System not found
image2.
I also check "connect at power on", reboot the VMware but no effect. Can you tell me what the problem is and how to solve it?
Thanks in advance.
File provided by link in comment is ServicePack 2 for Windows XP - it's not media with operating system. VMware shows truth on console, because it's not operating system, but package with updates for Windows XP. Conclusion: you have to download bootable operating system media.
In addition even if you will find any bootable media you have to remember, that you must pay for license key. Windows XP is no longer supported by Microsoft, but it is not freeware product.

Windows 7 x64 vs Ubuntu 16

I've a Acer Aspire 5600U machine, which had windows 10 earlier. I installed Ubuntu 16 on this machine erasing all previous Operating Systems. Now, it says that there is no bootable disk and stuck at the boot screen.
So, i tried to go back to windows 7, and created a bootable Windows 7 x64 USB but the computer does not recognize the bootable USB either, whereas it does recognize bootable Ubutnu 16 OS USB.
I'm pretty sure there must be something i'm missing in the BIOS, but i've no clue what it is. I dont understand the whole concept of UEFI vs BIOS either.
So, if anyone has any ideas to resolve this, would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
If anyone is struggling with this, here is the problem, how it was got solved.
I had to use Rufus tool to create GBT Partition with FAT32 file system. Looks like the drive i used earlier was in NTFS.
formatting it to FAT32 resolved the issue.

Cannot find Desktop Sharing in Ubuntu 16.04 LTS

Is there anyone knows how to find Desktop Sharing in Ubuntu 16.04 LTS?
Is it possible that this feature is only available for Server version?
Thanks
ok, I find out the answer by myself. Actually, I need to install vino. After that, once I execute vino-preferences in a terminal, then the Desktop Sharing is show up.

Xen on Centos 7

I am a newbie to Xen and want to download it on my machine which currently has CentOS7. I have been researching and experimenting for a couple of days but can't seem to find a straightforward answer on how to install a fully functioning Xen on CentOS7. I tried using the workaround at http://www.lairdscomputer.com/Blog/tabid/62/EntryId/74/Installing-Xen-4-on-Centos-7.aspx, but it seems that some of the packages it uses might be outdated.
Is it even possible to install Xen on CentOS7, even if it is missing some parts to it? Would it be better just to go back to CentOS6.x so that I can install Xen4CentOS?
Thanks in advance! Any advice is appreciated!
Afaik RedHat therefore CentOS is not supporting Xen whoever in fact it is possible.
I am using xen4centos on my Centos7 server, it was installed along with official article from wiki:

It it is not, please provide some logs, errors etc

How to access MATLAB installed on a server?

A pretty basic question. The MATLAB is installed on a linux based server. I have windows 7 installed on my system. I want to access MATLAB, how do i do that?
Shall i install some virtual machine or is there a simpler way? Please help.
Thanks.
MATLAB will run on Windows 7, so you could just install it on your Win7 machine. The other more complicated route would be to run a VNC client on the Win7 box and a matching server on the Linux side. Then you can have access to the remote linux desktop from Win7.
