[filip <1491761@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

i have the original hdd in a box so i can use it as an external drive.
If i update grub with the drive attached i will probably have the windows 7 entry?
Will i be able to boot the windows?
And if that works, can i safely run the bios upgrade or will it for some reason fail and brick the laptop?
