We are doing More Boot Fuckery™! :3
Want to boot the Windows installer so we can fix our Windows bootloader.
But we don't want to totally erase our flash drive...
so I'm trying to set up a GRUB to chainload the Windows installer's bootloader. :3
@IceWolf You could always back up the flash drive somewhere and then wipe it, then restore it once you're done.

@Felthry *nodnods* I definitely could!
Might do that if I get tired of trying to do this.
It's a fun challenge! but not working so far.
@IceWolf does grub even support anything windowsy? I thought it only worked for linux

@Felthry @IceWolf the common advice has always been ime "if you're going to dual boot windows and linux, install windows first. if you install linux first, the windows bootloader clobbers grub. if you install windows first, grub gets installed over the windows bootloader, but it can boot either so you don't lose anything"
@monorail ah okay
the only machine I got that on dualboots Windows ME and XP :3
@noiob my assumption was that whatever shows you the menu still runs, but if there's only one option it doesn't show the menu
@noiob no but i've seen the menu for if you do
