Hey /g/.

I want to use gentoo on my desktop computer, but I don't want to sacrifice my main drive running Windows 7 because muh gaymes and muh smug anime face folder.

I have a spare 500GB HDD I salvaged from a laptop; this will be the drive that houses Gentoo.

Does anyone have a configuration like this, or have they done something like that in the past? I would like to know what precautions have to take before attempting a dualboot like this. I don't want Gentoo locking me out from my Win 7 drive, and vice versa.

Pic semi-related.

All you'll have to do is configure your bootloader so that you can select between Windows and Linux at boot. With a non-autistic distro this is done for you (at least with Ubuntu/Mint). Dunno about GENTOO.

Windows wont boot off a toaster without heavy modifications.

Yeah, anon. It's called dualbooting. There are plenty of guides for it. Also:

Top comment asks about an extra autistic version of how to do what you want as well.
