Doesn't a chainloader work for an efi boot? I edit grub.cfg manually. Doesn't this work for modern efi machines/Windows versions anymore? menuentry "XP"{ set root=(hd1,1) drivemap -s hd0 hd1 chainloader +1 }
I'll try this, thanks. I do not really like grub, but they say that manually editing /boot/grub/grub.cfg is not advised ( I believe that it is because this file is rebuilt when grub or linux kernels are updated ). Well, I must admit that I do not really mind about such statements, but since this computer is the tool I'll use for work, I would prefer to avoid random tinkering. Tinkering is nice at home, but here I have some stuff to do for which I'm paid.
A side note, IMO a Windows install only is needed to develop and/or test hardware. Most needed software should be available by Linux and assumedsome hardware isn't available, a virtual install IMO is the better^^^^^^^^ softwaresolution. Wine often might not work, but I run Windows in VBox to useiTunes, I never ever would use a Windows outside a virtual machine, excepted of hardware development and/or testing.
Here are the reasons, which are not always really good as you will quickly notice: _ I have no idea about how to use any samba client. I could spend some time to learn indeed, but I'm new here ( at my job ) and already have some work to do. I do not want to spend time for such stuff when I need to discover my new environment. _ They use exchange 2003. And it seem they have configured it to avoid internal connexions using the web interface. I have tried davmail+icedove, but lack informations about the exchange server so it ended nowhere. _ My opinion about IHM is the opposite of most people. If, someday, someone need to take a look on my computer, they will never be able to use i3 + bash + vim. So having a working windows install could allow my colleagues to access files they could need on my computer, in case I have a problem which avoid me to be present. _ wine is of course an interesting tool. But I do not know if Microsoft accepts that outlook can be used when not combined with a windows license. And I am not at home... ( it I was at home, I would not have an obsolete software to provide mails, which respects no standard anyway ). _ is installing windows on a virtual system legal? I do not want to read long licenses written in English with things hidden behind well-chosen words.
