This question is for anyone that has sucessfully dual booted vista and
ubuntu linux.
Here's my scenario:
AMD Athlon64 3400+ (running overclocked at 2.6 Ghz)
1 GB PC3200
2 x 232.88 GB IDE Hard Drives
GeForce 7600GS 512 mb AGP
I have vista installed on the first hard drive along with my essential data.
i have the second hard drive partitioned into 212.88 GB and 20 GB
partitions. The 212.88 GB partition has my non-essential data and the 20 GB
partition is empty.
Here's what i want to know:
If i install ubuntu linux to the 20 GB partition, will GRUB overwrite the
vista bootloader and make unable to boot vista? or, will GRUB work in
conjuction with the vista bootloader, making it possible to boot both
OS's?(This is the result that i hope happens) and with that said, if the
result is the first of the two possibilities, how do i restore the vista
bootloader and make my system able to boot both operating systems?
ubuntu linux.
