OK, that the former happens - I don't get a menue at all.

Bah - don't worry about my windows plans at all ;)
They don't have any relevance.
I'll need windows in may be two months or so - no hurry at all.

Who drunk you coke? ;)

No matter how I do it - when I install grub from an active partition 2, than
grub shows a menue at reboot and I can boot into both partitions (depending on

When I install grub from partition 1, grub will not show a menue at reboot.
