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.
Just partition your disk first with the SuSe install disk,
then install Windows, and lastly, Install Linux.
I have OpenSuSE 10.2, Windows XP, and Kubuntu 7.10 installed on three
different disks. The only one that knows the other two are there is
Kubuntu. OpenSuSE and XP are on SATA drives while Kubuntu is on a PATA
drive. When installing I disconnect all the drives but the one I want to
install on.
The trick to doing this is to have a boot loader outside the normal
system. If your computer has a built in boot loader in the bios, as mine
is, your good to go. If you don't, well, you might look around for a
boot loader that can be used outside Linux or Windows. OR, possibly
change the boot order in the bios.
