Hi, |
| 2 |
My Gentoo AMD64 machine is the only machine in the house with a |
| 3 |
video card capable of running a Windows game my teenage kid got for |
| 4 |
his birthday. I checked Cedega and unfortunately they don't support it |
| 5 |
yet. This has raised the spectre of possibly adding Windows to this |
| 6 |
machine so that he can play the game. |
| 7 |
|
| 8 |
The machine has some disk space but it's at the end of the hard |
| 9 |
drive. I've not done a Windows install after running Gentoo ever. I |
| 10 |
used to add Gentoo to Windows boxes but haven't done it in a long |
| 11 |
time. What are the issues? |
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
I assume that the Windows install would wipe out grub. Would I just |
| 14 |
reinstall grub from a Gentoo install CD to get it back and then modify |
| 15 |
my grub config file to set up the dual boot? Any grub/Windows issues |
| 16 |
having Windows at the end of the drive sitting in an extended |
| 17 |
partition? |
| 18 |
|
| 19 |
What other problems am I likely to have, assuming Windows doesn't |
| 20 |
completely wipe the drive and leave me in a world of pain? |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
Thanks, |
| 23 |
