[wplug] RE: Don't Use Linux to Repartition Vista

[Greg Simkins]

I guess I don't have BitLocker enabled.  Tonight my friend helped me 
complete the Dual Boot configuration.

1.  We booted off the Live CD.

2.  We did chroot so that root was back on the previously installed Linux 
partition (instead of the live CD)  - well I guess he decided just to mount 
the hard drive.
     [sudo mount /dev/sda3 /mnt]

3.  grub-install to replace the Vista boot loader.  --recheck forces it to 
reread some BIOS file information.
    [sudo grub-install --root-directory=/mnt --recheck /dev/sda]

4.  Tweak the menu.lst file in /boot/grub folder [We put Vista at the top of 
the list so it will be the default - sorry, but I could have never figured 
these issues out myself.]

The dual boot works fine now.

Greg
