Windows DOES recognise other OSes.. you just have to tell it where to look. It's been a long time since i've done something like this, but i do know it's possible.
All you have to do is install linux and make sure to install grub into the partition, and not the MBR, otherwise you'll overwrite the windows NTLDR loader and will need to load windows through grub (although some argue this is a good thing..). >From windows you'll have to edit the boot.ini and add an entry to the linux partition, and that's it. For the exact details, give http://linuxquestions.org a try. On 04/03/07, Issam <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > hmmm > I think you mean the opposite!
