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 think this is not what the original writer had in mind. He'd like to _keep_ his Linux install. What if he disconnected the drive(s) with Linux on them, and then installed Windows on a clean drive. Supposesdly, you can multiboot from a Windows installation, but I don't know how. Then instead of Grub, you'd use the Windows multibooter to access Linux. --doug -- Blessed are the peacemakers ... for they shall be shot at from both sides. --A.M.
