it's not only ok, it's a good idea to have more than one boot partition with whatever os you wind up using. this way when the drive you normally use has minor problems you can boot to a different drive/partition and run your' repair utilities etc. from there, much faster and better than starting up from a cdrom. the only problem comes in if you have more than one system on the same partition, but unless you are a developer there's no need to do that and even for a developer it makes more sense to have separate partitions/drives for each os.

George Bush is not only afraid of change, he is afraid of the present. George Bush's world is based on fear and distrust, he is incapable of trusting anyone or of receiving love and joy. The world only makes sense to Bush when there is a threat, if Al Queda did not exist Bush would have to invent them for the world to make sense to him. Do we want a leader who's life is based on fear and distrust or one who will embrace change and the unknown and lead us with hope into a more joyful future? <http://www.philly.com/mld/dailynews/news/columnists/9963983.htm?1c> <http://www.leinsdorf.com/2004/Soaries.htm> <http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/article6505.htm> -- G-List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
