After adding dual boot with suse I tried to make the natively installed Windows XP on a Dell 4700C function with VMware. I could never get it any farther with VMware than a BSOD in the middle of booting XP. I'm sure there's someone else who managed to successsfully run a native install given the right set of hardware or phase of the moon or what not. I couldn't. WinXP worked much better installing it under VMWare. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
