    Windows 7 installation without harming current Linux/GRB2 setup

    Half of my hard drive is an unused partition, which is formatted ext2 which is just temporal and has no specific intention of mine. This unused partition has its own swap area, which is also a temporal and not important.

    So my HD is:
    sda1: Linux (Ubuntu 9.10) -- ext4
    sda2: ext2 unused
    sda3: linux-swap
    sda4: linus-swap unused

    Now, I'd like installing Windows 7 using these sda2 and sda4 partitions without corrupting current Linux installation and its GRUB2 setting(I'd likt to reconfigure the GRUB2 after successfully installing the Windows image, for the dual-boot).

    Could someone teach me how to do it safely?
