Hello,
I have openSUSE setup right now on my machine that has 2 mirrored 80gb disks. I just got another disk 80gb disk but I would like to install windows on it. My question is, is it possible to install windows on that new disk without it taking off my grub? I know most multiboot setups that include windows always say install windows first then install linux so it can auto detect your windows partition and setup grub accordingly but in my case I already have linux setup and want to install windows while keeping suse's grub menu. Is this possible and how?
If you install Windows, it will GLEEFULLY overwrite your MBR, forcing you to repair your Linux install.
Just partition your disk first with the SuSe install disk, then install Windows, and lastly, Install Linux.
I have OpenSuSE 10.2, Windows XP, and Kubuntu 7.10 installed on three different disks. The only one that knows the other two are there is Kubuntu. OpenSuSE and XP are on SATA drives while Kubuntu is on a PATA drive. When installing I disconnect all the drives but the one I want to install on. The trick to doing this is to have a boot loader outside the normal system. If your computer has a built in boot loader in the bios, as mine is, your good to go. If you don't, well, you might look around for a boot loader that can be used outside Linux or Windows. OR, possibly change the boot order in the bios. -- (o:]>*HUGGLES*<[:o) Billie Walsh The three best words in the English Language: I LOVE YOU Pass them on. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
