*shifty eyes* maybe... but I know other people who have also tried it and failed, and I have yet to see a written account of it happening. So - guilty until proven innocent. ;)


    I do remember trying it with windows 2000, and I think I got it to
    boot
    my redhat install, back in the days. I vaguely remember something
    about
    editing .ini or .sys or something files on windows, but I don't have
    windows 2000 or redhat any more. And you know what they say about
    memories being created, so it may (or may not) be possible :)


Agreed.
I can say that back int the redhat 6.3 days, i was able to get redhat to boot from the NT4 loader. And i could have sworn that there was a HOWTO on the LDP, but i can't find it now.

So at least 5 or 6 years ago it could have been done. But with such nice bootloaders as grub and lilo, why would you want to bother with XP's... just create a boot disk for XP, just in case you hose grub, and you'll always be safe.
