[ug-bosug] Help required: Triple Boot: WinXP + SXDE + Ubuntu

[Manish Chakravarty]

Hi BOSUG,

I have a 160 GB HDD , thought would triple boot WinXP, Ubuntu and SXDE

The partitions are as follows

Drive C: 24.4 GB ( NTFS/ Windows)
Drive D: 74.7 GB ( NTFS / not used )
Solaris partition : 60 GB approx ( UFS )

I want to take drive D , put swap/ext3 partition(s) in its place and install
ubuntu on it.

I dont think Ubuntu's bootloader (GRUB) can chain-load SXDE's GRUB.
What is the solution? I dont want to blow away my SXDE partition.

In Ubuntu I can boot using a livecd and restore the MBR ( by installing GRUB
by hand).
Is something similar possible in the OpenSolaris world as well? if so, how
do i do it?


Also, can i mount my ext3 partition in SXDE? I know I can mount UFS
partition in ro mode in linux.
Thanks
Manish
