How to properly install the Linux bootloader so that it can boot Windows as well?

Question

linux

Where to install GRUB during installation? Certainly not on top of the Windows 8.1 bootloader.

Answer 1

Here the question is where you have the Windows bootloader.
Disk then I hope not one?
Put rough on the disk on which there is no Windows. And make it bootable.
Grub will find Windows and everything will be fine. It will be possible to load both Linux and Windows.
Now, if there is only one disk. And on it on different sections there are Linux and Windows, then the operation will be more complicated. And you can break Windows :) To act for sure, I would advise you to take a USB flash drive (two gigs will be enough) and put it rude (and in general the entire boot linux partition) there. And make the flash drive bootable.
I've done it this way. And I periodically backup flash drives.
And if you take a larger USB flash drive, then you can also burn a liveCD of your Linux distribution on such a USB flash drive. And some WinPE for emergency launch in Windows.

Answer 2

in MBR. Sections he himself will find.
