Hi All, I bought a Dell XPS laptop which seems to have 3 primary partitions. The third partition is where Windows 7 resides, while the second partition is flagged as bootable. The first partition contains some Dell (recovery) tools. I am lead to believe that the second partition is the back up partition and is meant to be used to restore the OS in the third partition. This confuses me a bit - shouldn't the third partition which houses the OS be flagged as bootable instead?
Anyway, I do not want to interfere with the Dell/MS Windows OS way of booting, at least until the warranty expires. What is the recommended way of dual booting with Gentoo? In the past I have either installed GRUB in the MBR and chainloaded WinXP from there, or I have installed GRUB in the Linux partition boot record and then used NTLDR to chainload grub from the MSWindows bootloader. -- Regards, Mick
