Hi All
I recently installed Windows 7 which promptly took over the boot process and gave a rather curt name for my earlier Windows XP Pro SP3 installation as in "earlier version of Windows" or something. Then I installed Debian 5 which insisted writing GRUB to MBR and all hell broke loose! Neither of OS were able to boot with GRUB giving me an Error 21. I corrected the MBR to that of Windows 7 and now I am back to dual-booting to Windows 7 and Windows XP.
Is there any way to load Debian thru the Windows 7 boot manager? I know I can do the dirty work and get GRUB to load both Windows XP & 7 but I am just wondering if we can load everything thru Windows 7?
