Please give more information concerning gpt during the chakra install (size of the unformatted partition). How to dual-boot windows.

Asked by: 747 views Disk Partition

I noticed that you did not cover, in-depth, the partitioning and the boot loader (burg). Thanks for anything that you can help with. I did manage to get the system to load, but remain unclear as to what I did to get this done.

    I’m not too sure what the minimum size of the unformatted partition should be. I used 300 MB, but as you can see from one of the screenshots, it was barely touched.

    I have to assume at this point that you just need a very small, unformatted partition with the bios_grub flag set. I’ll have to play wit it some more to find the minimum size required.

    Dual-booting with Windows will be an interesting task. I thought about it, but have not tried it. It will mean installing Windows on a GPT first, which as I have read, requires a 64-bit version of Windows. That will be the subject of a future article.
