Installing windows after mint

Postby civint on Fri Jan 18, 2008 6:15 pm

OKay...due to some, shall we say URGES, I havent been able to play some of the games I want to play to their fullest extent under wine because of its limitations. And I would quite like to install windows on a small partition in order to play some games...last time I tried this, windows removed the bootloader, and I was unable to boot to mint, forcing a reinstall. I know that was dumb, but could some give me a step by step to install windows after linux? THANKYOU. :oops:

Best choices are qemu or kvm though, so You don't have to reboot.
