My school laptop is running Win2k with an NTFS partition, and I can still boot to it. Linux can read (but not write!) those partitions, and Windows usually installs a boot stub in it's partition. The stub means you can chain boot to it. I'll describe the process a little better once you get past those other errors. > I got the following > Error message: XFree86-4.2.1-3mdk.i586 It could be a bad CD. Have you checked the MD5sums for your ISO images? There is a copy of md5sum for Windows floating around. Bad RAM is also possible, but it shouldn't be that consistent. Try throwing memtest86 on the machine for a few hours ( http://memtest86.com/ ). HJ Hornbeck --- Incoming mail is certified Virus Free. Checked by AVG anti-virus system (http://www.grisoft.com).
