It is only a no-no if you put your boot partition on the third drive. It works best and is recommended for the first harddrive. windows can run well on any of your three drives. It just required added input to your lilo.conf entry for windows if it is installed on either the second or third harddrive. I can vouch for this as I have my windows partitions on the second and third discs with no problem. - -- - ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Altoine B Maximum Time Unlimited Chicago Based and Operated http://pgp.mit.edu - ------------------------------------------------------------------------ An antique that seems too good to be true, probably is. -- Kathy Lee's Dictum - ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 2.4.19-16mdk Mandrake Linux release 9.1 (Cooker) for i586 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.7 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQE9vBEyxjybQmhmUgYRAhd7AKCXQlvEnKsmJAS/kWM/5hh31v3tOACdHl+h ApkewcnlXia/5wcACKqNEV4= =Ezn8 -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
