I did (or tried to do) the dual boot thing in the past and got sick of the
windows-induced troubles real quick.
I have discovered two great, though more expensive, solutions to this dual boot with
windows thing.
1) Buy another computer. Granted, it might cost $400, but it sure simplifies
I've been using a dual-boot of win98se and redhat, using both ext2 and
ext3, with no filesystem integrity problems thus far -- knock on hat.

PS - installed windoze first, resized partition, then installed linux on
small 5gb partition...Mr. T, your idea of small will look
The dual boot thing really isn't that difficult. It's more a
matter of learning a bootloader and sticking with that one. Of
course it also depends how often you use Windows and how often
you reinstall it. Seeing as I only boot into Windows once a week
or less to play a game or run some benchmarks

I have installed windows on this machine 2-4 times a year in hda1 with
lilo or grub mostly mandrake with no problem until
until last spring. When this disk problem popped up both times I had
mandrake in an ext3 partition. I have suse now and will
reinstall mandrake both in reiserfs partitions.
The support license has expired on the SUSE 8.1's. Oh well.
