this is the tutorial i saw http://pcwizcomputer.com/index.php?o...d=35&Itemid=32
Can i do this with any distro or is there a particular one ?
And will i still have my windows bootloader if i do this ?
Thanks guys |
Yes it would work, I've done it before. Works with any distro, and doesn't touch your internal HDD's MBR.
