From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Windows only wipes Linux grub if the grub boot efi stuff gets installed into the windows disk EFI partition. Its best to specify a new EFI partition on the new disk so grub is isolated from windows. The distro OS probe should pickup an alternate OS on other disk and add a chainloader entry to Linux grub. Windows never knows there is another EFI partition if you do it this way.
