Boy, I just don't want GRUB *infecting* my hard drive.
You don't have to. That link to EASYBCD is what you want.
With EasyBCD you don't have to copy the Grub boot sector files to
C:\. Just follow this tutorial:Ubuntu - NeoSmart Technologies Wiki
and download Easy BCD. In fact when I set up my dual-boot I will also use EasyBCD.
I hate to be a pain, but I really do not want to use EasyBCD. It really messes up my boot loader entries. If I can find a better way, great. If not, then thank you, I will take your advice.
True.
Ha! I got a new error message! "The forum requires you to wait 30 seconds between posts".
In that case use this:How to Dual Boot Windows 7 and Linux using BCDEdit | iceflatline
tutorial which uses the native Windows bootloader. Again you will need to copy the first 512 bytes of Grub's stage one to the root of C:\ The tutorial explains how this is done.
I tried it, and I got the following error message:
What does this mean?Cannot load from harddisk
Insert Systemdisk and press any key
Not sure what you are doing with Easybcd to make it "mess up your entries". It never does that to mine.
Have you tried the new Easybcd 2.0 ?
