12th May 2015 | LINUX BOOTLOADER FOR WINDOWS 7 |
Brian Grainger |
I am not sure whether Windows 7 can be installed on an NTFS drive with compression enabled. The following note should be born in mind if it can. The most common option is that Windows 7 is installed on NTFS without compression, in which case the following note does not apply Dual booting Linux with Windows 7 on an NTFS drive with compression is not recommended. This is because NTFS-3G, the Linux driver to work with NTFS partitions, will not be able to write files to NTFS with compression partitions. Therefore, what you can do will be limited to read only of NTFS with compression partitions. NTFS-3G works perfectly happily with the NTFS no compression system and you will be able to read from and write to such partitions. These instructions are for Internet Explorer. If you use another browser then use the appropriate commands to download and save a file to disk, rather than download and run. Save the files to a temporary folder. Right Click HERE and choose 'Save Target As' to download the file: grldr (213 KB) VERY IMPORTANT: Make sure the filename is enclosed in " " marks Right Click HERE and choose 'Save Target As' to download the file: grldr.mbr (9 KB) VERY IMPORTANT: Make sure the filename is enclosed in " " marks Right Click HERE and choose 'Save Target As' to download the file: menu.lst (1 KB) VERY IMPORTANT: Make sure the filename extension is .lst for list NOT .1st for first. VERY IMPORTANT: Make sure the filename is enclosed in " " marks In order to perform the next step Windows Explorer has to be opened with administrator privileges. To open up Windows Explorer in this way carry out the following:
Using Windows Explorer perform the following:
In DOS speak you should now have the files grldr, grldr.mbr and menu.lst in the c:\ folder. That's the end of Step 1 Click HERE to proceed to Step 2 |
