1. Install Windows to the whole drive - it's what Windows does :) 2. Use gparted to move Windows (maybe apart from the EFI partition) to the end of the drive - move the blank space to the front of the drive after the EFI partiton. 3. Install Debian in the blank space. You might be able to do it all with one EFI partition. I think I found it easier to put Windows on first - because it's fussy, then install Debian but I may have done it both ways round in the past. Installing Windows second is definitely harder if I recall correctly. Andy (amaca...@debian.org) > Cheers, > David. >
