The irony that linux can not only dualboot but also load/read all Windows partions is not lost on me. I think the only way to dualboot linux and windows is to install Windows first then linux. All the distros now walk you through how to do this but should you ever run fixmbr on Windows, you will be left with only Windows. I long for a time where os booting is in the BIOS thus safe from the corruption of overzealous Windows. On Apr 2, 2013 12:57 PM, "Paul Bagyenda" <[email protected]> wrote:
