Yes, I know you are planning to > remove the new partition to make room for windows, but this is just for > testing purposes :-) Bah - don't worry about my windows plans at all ;) They don't have any relevance. I'll need windows in may be two months or so - no hurry at all. > And you can't "boot" neither from SGD? Who drunk you coke? ;) - Sorry, what's SGD? I'm not habitated to acronyms at all. No matter how I do it - when I install grub from an active partition 2, than grub shows a menue at reboot and I can boot into both partitions (depending on my selection) When I install grub from partition 1, grub will not show a menue at reboot. kind regards Gero -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
