How to put opensuse 13.2 on windows 7, windows 8.1 on one hdd?
How to put opensuse 13.2 on a laptop that already has windows 7 and windows 8.1 installed (bootloader from 8.1)?
In the arsenal we have:
- already filled with opensuse 13.2;
- a laptop with only one hdd (1tb);
- straight arms (two pieces).
Breakdown of hdd at the moment: two sections of 150GB each (one under 7, the second under 8.1); section for any backup, archives (about 570GB); and a Linux partition with a swap partition (70-72GB).
After reading various forums (I haven’t seen Russian-language forums. Only English ones) I came to the conclusion that if you put a tench now, the win 8.1 bootloader will fall off and it will have to be restored (with or without a tambourine - I don’t know). After recovery, it will fall off accordingly rude. and so on in a circle.
At the expense of the fact that the screw loader will fall off - I quietly believe it, because. when linking win 7 + win xp, the bootloader remained safe and sound. It’s more confusing here that when choosing win 7, from the win 8.1 bootloader, the laptop goes into reboot and then bypassing the bootloader loads win 7 (somehow strange. When linking win 7 + win xp, the bootloader was loaded first, and after the axes themselves without reboot ).
And actually the main question: how to install opensuse (installation order and hdd layout) and what to expect (how it will affect Windows) after installation?

Generally, there shouldn't be a problem. Install all windows first. Then install linux, it will install grub, which will give you the ability to choose at system startup what exactly you want to run.
One point that is really important: one physical disk cannot contain more than 4 primary partitions.
