Installing linux distros alongside Windows shouldn't be a problem
I had good reason to reinstall openSUSE 11 after installing Windows 2000 on the same hard disk.
The installation order was then:
Windows 2000
openSUSE 11
When I restarted the machine after everything was installed, it failed to show the Windows 2000 operating system and I had to boot straight into openSUSE, without choice.
I'm so used to having Ubuntu deal with the boot loader for me I thought it would be the same this time.
After a bit of head scratching as to how I would access the Windows partition, I launched YAST and selected the Boot Loader option within SYSTEM.
All you do is change the boot order, in my case, moving Windows 2000 to be loaded first, reboot the pc and you see the two operating systems.
Done.
