Meanwhile Windows is all too happy about overwriting any bootloader you may have with its own, if you happen to run its installation or, I think, even some disk-checking programs (don't remember if only `format` did it, or something `chkdsk`-related too).

That's why I keep Linux and Windows in completely different drives and disconnect the one that I'm not using.

  But you missed out on the thrills of getting a triple-boot XP/7/Linux system working, with both XP and 7 calling their own drive "C"!

    And the joy of booting your XP and 7 systems in Linux by attaching your partitions to a VM.

  Might as well boot from the linux drive and add a grub entry for windows.
