Undetectable dual boot...
Feb 7th 2013, 12:16

Hello,

1. I'm using the computer in my office which runs Windows 7 and I don't have the administriator account for the windows OS. I had installed openSUSE with the USB key and followed this tutoriol: Dual-Booting Windows and openSUSE, which doesn't modify MBR but only use partition based boot loader.

However the last step couldn't be done because EasyBCD needs to be used with administritor rights in Windows. Now I have to uninstall the openSUSE system for the moment. (I found much space had been reclaimed by the installation of openSUSE)

What do I need to recover the space? Please note that I don't have administrator rights in windows and can't use "Disk manager" in it.

2. Similar scenery, I installed Ubuntu in another computer in the office with a live USB key. However I couldn't use EasyBCD in the windows system as I didn't have an administrator account so the machine boots directly to Windows unless the live USB is plugged during boot, then I could boot the Ubuntu installed on the machine (not my live USB system). This wasn't intended but worked well for the situation, coz the Ubuntu system is almost unnoticeable except that you may only find disk capacity decrease.

So I wonder how I can install openSUSE like this.

Thanks a lot.
