> o Windows has to be the first partition in a dual boot system If you use a 3rd party boot manager like XOSL or System Commander, you can put just about any OS anywhere you'd like. Never had a problem as I recall having a test notebook boot win98, 2k, xp, linux, and dos - dos was the first partition here. With these, you can easily have 30+ OSs in each seperate partition booting to something different. > o You need around forty meg either side of cylinder 1023 for the partition > (well probably only one side, but what the hell, you've 20g to play with :) For me, that's about 1015-1025 cylinder area on my Hitachi 20gb. Use a free space wipe tool, then hibernate, then walk the sectors manually in a disk hex editor if you want to find out exactly. otherwise, just leaven 1010-1040 cylinder free and you should be okay. ===== adorable toshiba libretto The latest news and information for the Toshiba Libretto owner. http://www.silverace.com/libretto/ __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
