| 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? |

| 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 |

| 1300347 | 2012-09-14 02:07:00 | Place the bootloader on the Linux partition. EasyBCD in Windows should then pick it up. Grub is just as good and it gets set up automatically on install so why muck around with EasyBCD. |
