Some things which are generally true when creating a dual boot system: * First install windoze (if you must) * Before installing Linux you have to defragment the disk so Linux can find a space for itself and does not interfere with windoze. Normally the installer asks you how much disk space to leave for windoze. * If you want read/write access to the windoze disk from Linux, use FAT32 for the windoze partition. * Linux will give you a menu so you can boot into windoze (if you must). 73, Rein Pa0R P.S.: Bill, can you pse sign up for the list so I don't have to approve all your posts... -- Skype: pa0r_rein AIM: pa0r@xxxxxxxxxx PSKmail on WW Converse: Ch 125
