Do you mean not dual-boot, i.e. taking over the whole drive?
problem trying for dual boot?
You should have no problem dual-booting.
UEFI boards require gpt partitions, so the windows 7 should be using gpt
partition(s), even if not in UEFI mode.
(You might want to verify. In superuser mode, simply list disk parameters with
:
fdisk -l
If gpt, it will give an error message saying that fdisk doesn't support gpt.)
Mageia has no problem with gpt, I've been using it for over 2 years, starting
with Mandriva, then Mageia. (We use the same legacy grub patched for gpt.)
Even dual-booting with a non-gpt-aware version of Msw is a bit tricky, but
doable.
(I've set up dual-boot with a non-gpt-aware version of windows 7.)
