    Hello,

    I read somewhere before that there were partition or boot problems after installing 5.1 beside winXP. Has anyone been able to do this successfully? Is there something not obvious that I need to set/tweak while during sysinstall? This partition has seen several versions of Mandrake and Redhat (Fedora is a flap, btw, IMO), and they all do it automatically as if assuming that users DO install their OS beside some Windows. But I have grown tired of the linux fad/hype and just wanna try my favorite server OS on it to see how it does too on the desktop. But at the same time, I need my XP very much.

    My 40G hardisk is currently partitioned like this..: 512MB Windows swap | 512MB Linux/Unix swap | 20G NTFS | 10G FAT32 | Rest = Linux/Unix

    Thanks in advance =)

    chael
