Multi-Boot Installation Questions

Posted: 06-08-2006, 04:26 PM
Hi - I have a triple boot PC - 98SE / XP Pro SP2 / Suse Linux 10. I signed
up for the CPP Vista Beta 2 download.

I am going to remove Suse Linux 10, reformat and combine the two Suse
partitions as NTFS, then re-allocate that space for Vista which I am sure
will want to reformat the combined partition again. I should have at least
15 GB on the Vista Partition.

I am not sure if the GRUB Boot Loader will disappear when Suse Linux is
removed. I am guessing it will.

My main hard drive is currently set up as:

C - Windows Default (sort of the "dump" partition for 98SE).

E - 98SE

F - XP Pro SP2

G,H,I,J - various files and storage.

K - XP Pro SP 2 Swap File

Plus - the two Suse Linux 10 partitions Windows can't see.

Question 1 - Will Vista interfere with the boot loader for 98SE and XP Pro?

Question 2 - Will Vista "dump" any files to the C drive? (Right now my C
drive is 266 MB).

Thanks for any input you can offer.

Joe
