My situation is that i want a triple-boot system consisting of 8, Server 2012, and Ubuntu 12.10 (x64 for all 3). I already have 8 and Server installed and they both share the bootloader/MBR. Hoewever, i'm planning to install Ubuntu next and it's GRUB bootloader will overwrite the default 8 loader i currently have. Normally i wouldnt have an issue with this setup, since GRUB is capable of booting all 3 OSes. but i plan to use TrueCrypt whole drive enccryption for C:\ on 8 and Server, and TC installs its' own loader. it requires that the default Windows loader be intact and unmodified. So my plan is to relocate GRUB onto another partition and put 8's loader back in place so i can still use TC while being able to boot Windows with its' loader and Linux with GRUB.
So, how can i accomplish this?
Thanks!
