Hi, 1st for windows works you just can have one primary partition active 2nd for windows works you just can have 4 primary partition 3rd so I should have partition 1 with windows, partition 2 with ext3 44M /boot, partition 3 can't be windows (like FAT) and partition 4 should be the extended.
if you active partition 2 for boot, and install grub on that partition (like I do!) this lines will make windows thing that active partition is 1. title WindowsXP rootnoverify (hd0,0) chainloader +1 First You should partition the disk, after install the systems , For installation of windows you may be prefer swap active bootable partition to 1, after installation you can put again in 2. Last thing swap active partition just can be done with fdisk or with partition magic something. PM7 when try correct LHsometing fuck up linux partition, but if you go to fdisk you can recover this same partition again.
