I have down-loaded OS-TW today (26 June) and burned it to DVD. I want to ADD it to a Windows system on a new computer. I have partitioned the SSD as follows:
P1 EFS sys fat32 P2 Microsoft reserved p3 Basic data ntfs P5 / ext4 46 GiB boot,esp P6 /home ext 234 GiB P7 linux swap 27 GiB p4 ntfs Basic data parttion (windows)
What created the list above, you and your keyboard? ESP means EFI System Partition An ESP partition always has to be VFAT. So, your "P5" cannot be ESP, and most likely has no use for a boot flag. Others suggested an image backup. I have a different suggestion, since this is a "new" computer. Take the SSD out and store it somewhere safe. Put a different SSD in to install to. That way if you need warranty service in the next one, two or three years, you can reverse swap and no one will know you ever used Linux, any trouble you have can be blamed on Windows, and any proprietary service utilities dependent on Windows will be available exactly as the service department expects. -- Evolution as taught in public schools is religion, not science.
