Hello, Once again, I'm installing several amd64 systems with dual boot XP. I always have to nuke the XP, reformat, leave sda1 for XP and continue on with the install. Since I am installing Gentoo first (amd64 livedcd) is there any things to watch out for, when I go back and put XP on the sda1 partition?
I seem to only get this right about 50% of the time. I guess when I put XP on the sda1 partition, I need to keep it from writing to the MBR, or have a recovery method? Maybe a recovery floppy to restore the MBR if XP writes over it? No matter what I try, I seem to have a knack for getting it right on the second or third attempt. comments and advice are welcome. Resizing the XP partitioning (NTFS) without reformatting nevers seems to work for me. James -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
