-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: RIPEMD160 You said you were told that you couldn't have two different file systems on the same hard drive? Not true! I've done this for many years. My current machine has the following layout. Note that /hda is my primary IDE drive and /hdb is my second drive. The numbered lists below will be the partitions on each. /hda: 1. NTFS for my Win2000 environment. /hda: 2. FAT32 can be shared between Win2K and Linux /hda: 3. ext3 for my primary Linux partition /hda: 4. Linux Swap /hdb: a 20 gig hard drive with two ext3 partitions. the first partition is a small region I use for booting as lilo doesn't seem to create a bootable image if I use /hda3. Strange situation but it works. Bottom line here: You *CAN* have both linux and windows on the same hard disk and they can be dual booted. One thing I would suspect however, windows might have to be on the first partition on the drive to work but linux doesn't care as much.
