Hello Community!
Just a quick question:
I have a friend who uses 3 Windows on three diffrent partitions. on Another Partition he wanted to install Ubuntu but he rather would stick to the Windows Bootloader beacause he is afraid of maybe loosing his windows partitions if he screws up something and the ubuntu bootloader gets destroid. I'm not tooo expirienced with this so I wanted to ask somebody with more expirience.
So my idea was that acutally he is not in danger of loosing anything because with the Ubuntu Live-CD you can always reinstall the bootloader and recover the relevant partitions for booting from the old configuration file. Is that right? Also I thought that you can always just put in the Windows Installation CD and he will again find the "lost" partitions, right?
So actually no danger for data loss, right? I just wanted to check with you guys. thx in advance.
