Solve : Dual boot Vista and Linux?

Answer»

My computer was preinsalled with vista and I would like to dual boot with linux... I installed Kanotix RC3 to a new partition I made and chose to put the bootloader Grub in the ROOT partition not MBR... This is the only way ive done it before im guessing because i only have 1hdd i have to put the bootloader in MBR.. will that erase the Vista bootloader, can some1 tell me how to go about dual booting both linux and Vista?

I have Vista boot Pro im not sure if it is meant to work with linux...I guess my most important question is, is there someway to recover vista MBR i.e. computer recovery DISK

You shouldn't need to recover the Vista MBR, as GRUB will let you boot Vista PROPERLY using its own MBR.

(Only used Vista for 30minutes on a friends laptop, but on XP I can tell you that you need to boot the recovery disk and run FIXMBR to put the old XP MBR back)
