using mint 10, want to instal win 7 seperate hdd...

Postby ltid8 on Wed May 16, 2012 1:23 pm

hii i have a problem that ive got to instal windows 7 ive a seperate hdd if needed, as i want to play diablo 3.
i dont want to loose me existig mint10 as it has my pics docs web book marks etc, and ive lost my external and toomuch for disks,


so summary,

my pc is a crossfire iii 3gg ram phenom x3 with a 300gig hdd, and a 80gig spare, not in use , from old pc
i am currently running mint 10 and have done for a year now, ive al my work here,

diablo 3 arrives and i need to play on my windows 7 so thaught about maybe adding the harddrive and instaling windows to dual boot somehow? while keeping my current data on my main mint 10,

im not bothered about the mint but all the items ive built up i have in 1 file on the desctop taking up 30ish gig,

i like linux so id stil like to use it as windows never seems to get the job done, but is few that wil play my high spec games that dont cater for linuxx

Linux Mint is funded by ads and donations.

well the only you may have is windows over writing grub, so want to get the supergrub boot disk then once you have in windows you may be able to dual boot by changing your linux drive to the boot drive then run sudo update-grub to see if it picks up windows.

also i find hard to believe diablo 3 is finally here
