I have linux on my pc now. If I repartition the drive with Partition Magic, can I have linux on one partition and Windows on the other? What would I need to change with grub?

Thanks!

Thanks so much, this was exactly it.

One thing though - I don’t use Debian but “update-grub” shouldn’t be necessary. The whole point of grub is that it can read from linux partitions and so you don’t need to re-image the MBR every time you make a change like you had to with LILO.

Try it without the update-grub part some time and see if it works.

I had Windows and Linux installed on two separate hard drives, with Linux as master. This trick worked fine for me.

Thanks! I had windows installed, then I installed a second harddrive with linux. This saved me from having to change the bootorder in bios, every time. Many Thanks!
