I have a computer running XP Professional and Ubuntu 6.06LTS (dual-boot) with
a 250GB HD. When my computer starts up GRUB is automatically loaded and asks
me which to boot Ubnuntu Linux or Microsoft Windows XP Professional. My Linux
partitions are as follows:
/dev/sda5 - Linux ext3 partion (ubuntu installation is here) - 35GB
/dev/sda6 - linux-swap partition - 5GB
Of course, these partitions are only visible to Linux and not Windows.
My Windows Partitions are as follows:
C:/ - NTFS (windows xp is here) -100GB
E:/ - NTFS (plan to put vista here) - 90GB
F:/ - FAT32 - 10GB
I plan to put Vista RC1 on E:/. I have Vista downloaded and putn onto DVD.
My question(s) are:
1) Can I just install Vista on E:/ and will it appear in GRUB or will I have
to do some configuration?
2) GRUB is put in the MBR. Will installing Vista destroy GRUB thus not
allowing me to boot one or more OSes?
Can someone provide me with detailed instructions to install Vista RC1 as a
triple-boot option without doing anything to Linux or Windows Xp Pro? And
also, If I get vista on how do I uninstall it from the system after vista
reaches the beta-test expiry date (june 2007)?
Help is appreciated
