New nope
Original layout was(sizes not exact)
PRIMARY(active)Windows31GB
PRIMARYRecovery1GB


New layout is
PRIMARYWindows2GB
PRIMARYRecovery1GB
PRIMARY(active)Boot Manager7MB
LogicalWinData8GB
LogicalOS/22GB
LogicalOS/2data8GB
LogicalFor Linux10GB


The Boot Manager passes control to whichever partition is selected.

I installed Linux after having the Windows/DOS boot issues. It saw the drive fine and installed everything, but the last thing it said before the reboot was "your system can boot beyond 1024, BUT you need to use LBA32". Not exactly sure where that would go, and I have to wonder why it didn't tell me that where I could have picked LBA32 instead of after it installed everything.
