I've ran Kubuntu 12.04 (and more recently 14.04) on one of my laptops and this week I installed 14.04 on my home-built tower. I wasn't ready for a dual-boot because I need to move a bunch of data from my Win7 drive onto one of my external drives, so instead of dual-booting I simply swapped out my Win7 drive for a different one and installed there to try things out with this computer. After running nothing but Kubuntu for the last week I'm ready to make the switch on this particular PC. Sadly there are some things that I do still need Windoze for so I will be setting up a dual-boot. I would like to install with LVM (Logical Volume Manager) to make resizing/moving partitions a breeze should I ever find I need to do so.
Will installing LVM have any conflicts with the Win7 filesystem? On my multi-boot setups in the past I've always preferred to have Windoze installed first and then install Linux and let GRUB sort things out. It's easy enough for me to reinstall Win7 after Kubuntu and just use EasyBCD to configure my bootloaders. But with LVM is there any reason I should not keep Win7 at the beginning of the drive instead of vice-versa?
As always, any tips or info is appreciate
