Which version of windows do you want to install?
windows 98 can only be installed on the first partition of the
hard disk that is /dev/hda1 so if you have linux there
tough luck mate.
other versions like win 2000 also put something called ntldr
in the first partition. I am not sure about this.
so if your root filesystem is /dev/hda1 tough luck man you gotta
reinstall. make another partition and format it ext3 and copy
your /home directory there and when you reinstall windows on /dev/hda1
and linux on another partition *not* on the partition you put /home
on. then load that partition as /home via fstab .
you could save all your settings and stuff that way.
dont forget to backup /etc too.
