For running Linux and XP on one computer, my own system uses two drives, and I use <F8> at POST time to select the drive I want to boot from. Though for most windows things I use VMWare, but that won't work with my video capture card.
<br><br>On the kids computer I installed XP (but never told them the password to logon) first, then Fedora Core 4 and it works fine with Grub as a boot loader. I let the FC4 installer setup the partitions the way it wanted.
<br><br>IIRC I may have had to manually add XP to the boot options in GRUB, but it was a while back and I'm not sure about that.<br><br><br>-- <br><><
