[android-developers] Re: Android/Windows Dual boot

I know that much, but i had assumed that the devs would know a little bit more than i do about the boot process of android. my question was "what file does android use to boot". In any case, i have figured it out. For anybody that may run across this one during a Google search, here it is:

* Back-up your data, because i accept no liability for the info below

* Create your second partition after installing Windows8

* install Ubuntu (I used 12.04) and point it to your created partition (format as ext3 and skip the swap file creation)

* Install GRUB with Ubuntu

* When installation is finished you can verify that Ubuntu and windows are dual booting

* then boot off of your android CD

* install android and install GRUB, but keep the ext3 partition intact (Don't format, just install over)

* You should now be able to dual boot android 4.0 and Windows8 RC
