<p>My w<font size="5">ife's laptop (Windows 7 Home on 64 bit) seems to have lost the boot sector. The Windows came on the laptop so no Windows install DVD's. </font></p>
<p><font size="5">I just bought a 1 TB Western Digital drive Looking to partition half for Linux and half for Windows (probably 7 pro) dual boot windows 7 and Linux (for me)</font></p>
<p><font size="5">I am hoping to install Linux first then Windows after I find a reasonable priced copy. </font><br>
<font size="5">Question: </font></p>
<p><font size="5">1) Is it reasonable to install Linux first and have Windows installed later as the default boot (Wife's computer)?</font></p>
<p><font size="5">2) When is the next installfest?</font></p>
<p><font size="5">3) Is this (partition and install Linux) something you folks can do at the next installfest such that I can install Windows later?</font></p>
<p><font size="5">4) Is there a better way?</font></p>
<p><font size="5">5) Which Linux version is recommended?</font></p>
<p><font size="5">TIA</font><br>
