Install grub from live Linux Mint

 If You installing Windows on a HDD whare Linux already intalled.
There is not a lot of reasons for this, in general installing windows its not a good idea (my opinion)! But if You really want this! This is the way to do it!

After Windows installation is complete. Boot live Linux Mint from USB flash or from DVD-ROM... and open terminal.

If You tray something like this (this worked on Debian squeeze, and I believe it sill works):
$sudo grub-install /dev/sda

On Mint this is what you will see:
grub-probe: error: failed to get canonical path of /cow.
Path `/boot/grub' is not readable by GRUB on boot. Installation is impossible. Aborting.

To fix this, mount rootfs. You need to specifay not only device ,bud path to mounted rootfs.
Enter something like this:
$sudo grub-install --recheck --root-directory=/media/mint/ac61ecb9-7b20-4d94-b9e2-9b1ece015459/ /dev/sda

Grub-probe will still complain ... bud its not important, cause grub will be installed successfully.

Now reboot (remove live cd or flash). Now You will not see grub menu, and Linux will boot up.
So ,You need to update grub:

$sudo update-grub

Reboot again.

And now all OS available in grub menu!

Best posible sound using Windows

We need the right player "foobar2000_v1.2"
http://www.foobar2000.org/

Driver - "ASIO4ALL_2_10_English"
http://www.asio4all.com/

And component for foobar to use them together - "foo_out_asio.fb2k-component"
http://www.foobar2000.org/components

It will not work, if not configured correctly. Also we should kill all sound related programs which may conflict.

Check if the component in the right place (picture below):

Set output device like this (picture below):

Now try play some file, i guess all outputs are muted by default, so unmute them if it looks like playing bud no sound.

Also select only one output device in the Device list. Restart Foobar after that.

Final indication if we done everything correctly (picture below):

"This software uses code of FFmpeg licensed under the LGPLv2.1 and its source can be downloaded here", taken from http://www.foobar2000.org/download


So I believe, for Linux no need special installs or configurations, the sound not messed up by default.
