Hi everyone,
After successfully installing the latest (and last) 32-bit build on my 2006 MacBook Pro alongside Snow Leopard, I'd now like to install LL (latest 64-bit stable) on my Lenovo laptop, and I really, REALLY want to do it via Grub2Win because I don't want to have to rebuild my MBR if things go South with LL.
So far, I haven't done anything other than install Grub2Win (went without a hiccup).
I still have to partition the SSD on the laptop (got about 350GB of free space left on the Windows partition, so I've got room to wriggle); I haven't tried to boot from the USB stick where my LL copy is.
In your experience, is there anything I should really be cautious about, in terms of partitioning, before and during install? Any precautions I should take on the Windows side before I take the plunge?
Contrarily to the Mac, this laptop is my primary machine. I work on it every day, got Trados and Domino installed on it for my translation work, and every new install is a pain in the rear, license-wise, especially with Trados, and, as I said in preamble, I'd like to keep the hairy stuff to a minimum.
