That's the order I'd recommend. That's what I did with my current box. Nicos was right in saying that M$ writes its own boot sector whether you want it to or not. So the easiest way to install the dual boot machine without having to jump through a bunch of hoops when it comes time to install the boot loader is to just install M$ first, then install the OS that you'll actually *use*. ;) -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Stephen W.
