Installing Winders After linux

<< < (2/3) > >>

Master of Reality:
you just need to make a linux boot disk, then after installing windows use the boot disk to boot into linux then do "grub-install /dev/hda"

SAJChurchey:
Don't forget to edit the grub.conf file in /boot/grub so that you can boot windows, if you need it that badly.  Be sure to preserver the white space:

title Windoze98
     rootnoverify(hd0,0)
      //(hd0,0) is /dev/hda1  change as needed
     chainloader +1

That should work.

ok well im about to install it. Ive decided i want about 5 gigs. (im using it for emulation and shit, unfortunately only for windows)
So how do i do it ive got 2 gigs of free space and before that errmm ill try and draw it

<-boot ~80 meg-><--root partition---~17gig-><-swap-1gig><free space ~2gig>


i want at the end of the drive about 5 gigs FAT32 for the winders thing.

i kinda need a step by step guide of the easiest way to do it please or something

TheQuirk:
Remove the swap partion, resize root partion using "ext2resize" to 14GB, recreate the swap partion, use left-over space for your windows partion. I'll write something more detailed tomorrow--right now, I just have enough energy to type this last sentence.

Doogee:
ok
