Installing Winders After linux
Doogee:
hey all, i left 2 gig of space left unpartitioned on my HDD and ive decided i want windows in there cos i need it for some shit.
Please do not ask why i need it as its irrelavant.
So how do i go about doing this? im using grub as the boot loader. Ask me for more info if you need it.
xyle_one:
if you install windows after linux (or whatever os), windows overwrites the MBR w/ntldr. You are going to have to repair the MBR.
quote: Perhaps an easier way is to install Windows normally (without creating a new /boot partition, etc.). After that, boot using the installation cds for Linux (if you have them) and choose rescue mode (this option is presented when first booting from cd). Rescue mode allows you to rerun the LILO configuration and modify the MBR after being hijacked by Windows. Alternative to that - but still similar - you can boot from your boot floppy in to Linux after the install of Windows. From within Linux you can, again, rerun the LILO configuration.
