[SOLVED] Multibooting Windows 7 and Linux Mint 13

Post by BRKsays »

I have a few softwares that can only be run in Windows. So I'm thinking about multiboot. But I've a few questions. Firstly, does multibooting effects the performance of LM even a tiny negligible bit in comparison to when it is installed alone? Secondly, what happens if my Windows partition is effected by virus? Any effect on LM's performance? Thirdly, my plan is to create a healthy C: drive for Windows at the beginning of my hard disk and install Windows 7 first, then the root partition of LM, a swap and finally a home partition. Is it okay? Please help me out guys.
