So, if I have to have multi boot system, usually laptop, as many sysadmins do, I install MS Widows first (often it is even not installation, but bringing up to the drive “image” machine vendor gives for “reinstallation”). If for whatever reason MS windows is installed not the first, I just restore boot of another system (say by booting it from live DVD) after Windows installation. My current PC laptop is triple boot: UbuntuEbonite linux (my apologies it is not CentOS), FreeBSD, and, of course MS Windows ;-) > > Valeri Actually, Doze WAS the first on that system, straight from Dell. I never had this issue before, even with the 7 - 10 upgrade, despite adding Ubuntu 18 to it many years ago. I was playing with GRUB Customizer the other day to add another drive dedicated to FreeBSD, and that may have installed my loader in the location MS trashed. I no longer need any program on Windows. I have gotten everything, even my payware model train programs with OpenGL, to work on Wine. It will be erased from my last disk this weekend. -- Don Wilde **************************************************** * What is the Internet of Things but a system * * of systems including humans? * ****************************************************
