1) I don't presume to know why you need to dual boot but unless you're
playing games or something that requires better graphics why not run a
Windows VM and not reboot at all? I currently have 3 copies of Windows
running here but I'm writing this in Linux.

2) Not that I mind these MythTV oriented threads at all but wouldn't
you find a wider range of MythTV help on the MythTV list? That said,
post where you like. It's all good.
