installing win with linux

(1/3) > >>

Master of Reality:
is there any way to install windows on a computer that already has linux, without it changing the (GRUB) bootloader or anything else in linux?????
The only reason i wnat windoze is to use my DVD, because its not supported in linux (i actually might just temporarily use windoze to test my DVD to see if it works)

After installing use your bootdisk that you should have made after/well installing Linix. TO boot into linux and then redo grubs MBR

how do i redo GRUB?

Nobber:
/sbin/grub
grub> setup (hd0)

I think...

If you're installing Windows 2000, you won't have to reinstall your bootloader. Win2K is, as far as I know, the only version of Windows that leaves the MBR alone when you're installing it.

askani:
or you could just open up an msdos prompt and type in fdisk /mbr (restores previous mbr). this may be kinda dangerous though so be careful (keep a boot diskette around).
