Hi John,

thanks for your tip. I would prefer to use Linux from my SSD hard drive,
for I have kids who love computers and tiny SD cards could easily
disappear, but if there is no good solution for installing NGU GRUB in one
of the partitions of my Windows drive, I will definitely consider it.

Or would there be a way to rename drive 0 (with WIndows) to Disc 1 and
rename disc 1 (with Linux) to disc 0? I suppose NGO GRUB could be easily
installed on the SSD drive with LInux.

Or is there a possibily to install NGU GRUB on a SD Card, which would be
looked at first during start up?
