If you manage to install Windows 7 so that it has independent bootloader - yes. But most likely you will end with grub loading Windows bootloader which gives you choice between XP and 7. > 2 If so, can it still be compatible with Ubuntu's update manager? > 3 How would one approach the reconfiguration? That's the question to ask on Windows forums primarily. Linux part is really easy comparing with it :) > 4 Will 4 partitions be sufficient? You need at least one partition for each installed operating system. Linux usually wants swap which has to go into separate partition. Windows 7 will normally want to create MSR in addition to primary data partition. > 5 Will GRUB want a partition? If you are going to use simple partitions without encryption, RAID or volume managers - not really. > 6 What would I need to be careful to avoid? > Blindly executing commands without understanding implications :) _______________________________________________ Help-grub mailing list [email protected] https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/help-grub
