Yeah! I agree you ! <br><br> If you install CentOS in Windows , you firstly backup the important data to some place in case of the machine is  crashed;Then you can start to install CentOS by the useful tool which called grub-for-docs.<br>
<br>That tool  is to build to grub for CentOS and Windows .You can search it by Googling.<br><br>Gook Luck! And hope this can help you! <br><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Tue, Sep 29, 2009 at 9:47 PM, Sorin Srbu <span dir="ltr">&lt;<a href="mailto:sorin.srbu@orgfarm.uu.se">sorin.srbu@orgfarm.uu.se</a>&gt;</span> wrote:<br>

&gt;<br>
&gt;&gt; I have to install CentOS on a spare partition of a laptop with<br>
&gt;&gt; Windows pre installed. Is there anything I have to watch out for?<br>
&gt;&gt; Couldn&#39;t find anything in the wiki or does the installer handle this<br>
&gt;&gt; well without me doing some magic, or so?<br>
&gt;<br>
&gt;The installer will handle this perfectly if you select the correct<br>
&gt;partition for your CentOS installation :-)<br>
<br>
</div>With that said, make sure you have a backup of the important stuff on the<br>
Windows-partitions.<br>
