-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 XP and 2000 are just newer versions of NT, and NT can be happilly installed to any partition. You can use the NT bootloader to load Linux, or Grub or Lilo to load NT...so that's just a matter of choice. Which ever boot loader you use just ends up booting the other bootloader when loading the os whose bootloader isn't in the mbr. When installing Linux just make sure you install lilo or grub (not sure about the grub setup for this) to the linux partition and not the mbr (unless you wanted there), or else it won't work when the nt bootloader overwrites lilo. Keep a boot disk handy just in case.
