[ale] Dual boot setup

[gonzas at gonzas.net (Gonzalo Seoane)]

maby you want to run a virtual machine ,.. for windows :P ,... you can do
this with vmware ,...
windows over write the media boot record , ( mbr ) and then you will not be
able to boot linux ,.. or maby you can install windows ,... run a live cd
linux and reinstall grub  ( grub-install ) mounting your HD on /boot/grub
and make the reinstall ,.... its only a solution but i dont know if this
works good
