Because, as Windows is installed, BIUS isn't an option? |

Look at UEFI boot. You can install grub into UEFI, but probably not here |
| 19 |
because Windows will have given you pretty much no space. If you can get |
| 20 |
the kernel and initramfs into the UEFI partition you should hopefully be |
| 21 |
okay. Your problem will be squeezing ANYthing into the space Windows has |
| 22 |
left. |

As for helping you do it, sorry I haven't. My two laptops that came with |
| 25 |
linux, one I've added Windows, the other I have yet to configure. The |
| 26 |
one that came with Windows still has no linux ... |
