Installation of Grub2 on Extended Partition To Leave MBR for Dual-Booting Windows
by rsp2 from LinuxQuestions.org on (#5H2BH)
Hi All,
I am on Dell Inspiron laptop 2014 vintage which I had converted into a dual booting with Windows 10 and OpenSUSE, various versions in the past. Now the Windows is corrupted and I have to reinstall the Dual Boot system.
Recently I had installed Windows 7 and then Leap-15.2 (Gnome Desktop) on a primary partition. Mounted my /home (on a logical partition) on that root and on another logical partition, I installed the KDE Desktop. Grub2 was installed to MBR.
The Windows did not start but both the Desktops on Primary and Logical partitions worked. I installed in the like manner again, this time with Windows 8 and again the windows did not start.
The question that I would like to ask is:
If Grub2 is installed to the Extended partition will it start all the three operating systems?
Thanks & Regards,
RSP2
