I figure even step 7 should be straightforward, since Linux will be (hd0,0) and /dev/sda, and Windows will be (hd1,0) and /dev/sdb. The only issue I can see is that there's a chance Windows won't like being installed as hd0 and then moved to hd1; but for all I know it might not care. I think Arch supports Grub 2, but not during the initial installation. So perhaps once Arch is installed I could install Grub 2 before going on to set up the dual-boot. But I'll read up on Grub 2 first. | |
