Re: Dual Boot With Win XP - Debian First?
It is certainly possible to proceed that way. There is one problem: as soon as you install Windows XP your MBR will be changed, so it seems as though your Debian is missing. Of course, it you have installed Debian on a seperate disk it is still there, only not bootable.
There are several solutions! If your computer has a floppy disk you can prepare a floppy with GRUB on it to start your Debian. Or you can use a CD prepared to start Debian. Or you can use e.g. a Knoppix CD to boot your computer and the re-install GRUB.
It is important to choose a method that works in your situation and testing it before installing XP.
