BitLocker & Linux Dual Booting
Hey-
Right now I am dual booting winxp and vista. 2 drives, works great. I wiped ubuntu to install vista and would like to tri-boot, winxp, vista and ubuntu. My though is, I will create a second partiton on the vista drive, and just install ubuntu to that partition. My question is will vistas bootloader recognize and properly load ubuntu without grub? If I choose to allow vista to manage MBR... C "Jamie Hunter [MS]" wrote in message ...

BitLocker & Linux Dual Booting
Something I've done on some of my BitLocker installs is to put XP on the
"Active" partition, which allows Vista to be on the non-active partition, which can very well be a Logical Drive. I'm not sure what the requirements are for Linux, but you can do 3-way boot very easily with just physical partitions. Which sounds like what you've configured. BOOTMGR allows booting of "boot PE images" (Vista), NTLDR style images (XP) and 16-bit boot blocks... the latter is your best bet for Linux. Cyril used this technique to boot Grub (see links below). I believe you can use this technique to boot the linux boot sector directly, but I need to play with that. From what I can tell, bootpart may help here (just take the changes to boot.ini and then configure bootmgr to do the same thing). -- Jamie Hunter [MS] "Cheddarhead" wrote in message ...
