Hi,
I'm going to try to set up a multiboot system with Vista and Linux. Vista is already installed and I've cleared space for a Linux partition. Following the EasyBCD documentation I'll let EasyBCD handle the MBR and I'll put GRUB in the bootsector of the Linux partition.
When I create the Linux partition (with parted or cfdisk) there is the option of setting a flag to make the partition a bootable partition. Should I set this flag to make the partition bootable? I read somewhere that Vista will not boot if it sees another non-Windows partition set as bootable so I'm not sure what I should do.
On another subject, is EasyBCD able to handle booting Vista and two different Linux distributions (on two separate Linux partitions)?
Thank you for any help
Toni
