For that you probably still need an MBR scheme. This depends on the type of Windows, and whether the system has UEFI. See: http://www.microsoft.com/whdc/device/storage/GPT_FAQ.mspx In short: Windows after XP64 and 2003 server understand GPT for data disks, but not booting; Windows 7 and 2008 also support booting from GPT using UEFI. How well the Windows boot loader handles dual- or multi-boot, I have no idea. It might well have the usual Microsoft behaviour, e.g. overwriting any other boot partitions. ;)Received on Thu Oct 22 2009 - 20:44:29 UTC
