    one quick question
    « on: July 05, 2011, 10:35:36 PM »
    will boot-flagging my windows partition affect any files or put them in danger at all?
    everything's backed up, but m backup drive has been on the fritz lately...

    You should not need to do such. Booting will be taken care of by grub and the Windows chain loader.

    The OP did not say what OS he has. With XP there should not be any problem with GRUB.

    If he has Vista as he main system, he should do a search on this forum for the keywords: GRUB Vista
    There are a number of posts about users who had problems.
