    Can I dual-boot Chrome OS with Windows 7 installed FIRST?

    For starters, to see if it is even remotely possible, I installed chrome-os by itself (the hexxeh variant) on a Virtual Machine. I analyzed the partition structure with a GParted live iso, and noticed there were several partitions. I am guessing some were for swap, but they were pretty small in size, about 64MB or so (apart from the system partition of about 1-2GB). My question is, is there a way to setup these partitions so that the "boot" partition is selected from a grub-type loader that can load Windows AND Chrome OS?

    Also, would it be possible (maybe a simpler method) to add a menu for the chrome live usb to the Windows Bootloader, or maybe put in a GRUB loader like above?

    Thanks in advance
