You can keep your whole Arch & M$ systems in separate partitions, |

I use Lilo, which is easier if you don't change things often, |

but you sb able to find advice re Grub here or on the Gentoo Forum. |

First, read the Gentoo User's Guide carefully, |
| 22 |
then follow it to the letter when you install Gentoo. |
