Yes, so its all good then there at least.

1300342 2012-09-14 01:48:00 Was planning on using the windows bootloader. Where would you recommend placing it?

Place the bootloader on the Linux partition. EasyBCD in Windows should then pick it up.

1300343 2012-09-14 01:49:00 Go for Ext3 for the boot partition and Ext4 for the rest.
I always create the minimum of / , /boot , /home.
Just put grub on the MBR and it will pick up Windows no problem.
Boot and home?! How large a partition would you put each of them on?

I'm not sure because I don't do it that way. I just stick everything on /

1300346 2012-09-14 02:00:00 Here's a better question:
Why are you not just letting it auto-partition it and telling it "Use all unpartitioned space"? :p

Grub is just as good and it gets set up automatically on install so why muck around with EasyBCD.
