It is not advisable to create any FAT32 or NTFS partitions after sda6, to be on the safe side (when booting into windows). So, we assume there is enough unallocated space after your windows partitions.Īn ideal partitioning scheme for dual-boot would be: Please note, this is for a new opensuse 11 install, and not an upgrade. This is just a guide to help you install grub4dos so that you can boot into opensuse using the windows boot loader 'ntldr' without rewriting the MBR. In case you don't want to mess with the MBR, there's another alternative - grub4dos. In a dual-boot system, opensuse usually installs grub to the MBR, as a result, we can choose either winxp or opensuse to boot into.
