Hello list,
First off, thank you to Kyle and Paul for your feedback. That was a good reminder about external-drive failure. I still think the trade-offs suit my needs at the moment. If I understand correctly--once I get everything loaded on the external drive and the boot order fixed--with the drive attached to my computer, I will have the option to boot into archlinux, and with the drive disconnected--while the machine is powered off--booting the machine will revert to automatically jumping into the factory-installed Windows-7. The net effect should be similar to when I boot the live-CD: without the cd in the tray (or this case the external drive plugged into the computer), my computer will have no clue there are any other operating systems in existance and just go happily on its way? or as happily as my machine gets? :-) Thank you. |
