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.
My apologies for nit-picking here. When Windows(tm) writes the MBR, it does not "break" the Linux install,
What version did that change with?
Every version I've seen, including the XP Government version attempts to destroy any non-MS O/S on target disk.
Why not disconnect the Linux disks from the controller, install Windows on the third disk, and then use either Grub or the Windows O/S selector after reconnecting things? I don't know how the Windows thing works, but I do know that it is supposed to be there. --doug -- Blessed are the peacemakers ... for they shall be shot at from both sides. --A.M.
