Thanks for the reply Joseph! Cool, so that would take care of the MBR, I assume?
Also, what files? (I'm truly a newb when it comes to Linux.) Can the 100 Meg partition for the grub files be after the Windows partition? Thanks, Jonathan L.

You should be able to boot a live cd, drop into a shell and install grub. Now a days, its smart enough on its own... Something like: sudo grub >setup (hd0) >exit You need a place to put some grub files, so I'd expect you need a partition, and it doesn't need to be upfront, but maybe when you install XP manually create a 100 meg partition and leave it raw then create your ntfs part after it. Once in Ubuntu you can format that ext3 from the live cd and xp wont even know it's there... ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to [email protected] with the body: unsubscribe ntsysadmin Any medical information contained in this electronic message is CONFIDENTIAL and privileged.
