Hi.. Once I have tried to install Linux on a machine which was already running Win2K n WinXP. It got installed and did work. I did it by removing an extended partion n by making it a primary one. But the try was was unsuccessful as then none of Win2K or WinXP worked. It crashed dring boot giving some error messages.
The conclusion that I drew was that both Win2k n WinXP not only keep a checksum not only one file system but also on the complete disk as well. Since when I reverted back to the prevoius partitioning layout both Win2k n WinXP worked without making any change any where. So I see that the situation is dark. U need to reinstall WinXP atleast after installing Linux or atleast making the WinXP know before hand that this xyz partition will contain that abc file system. Check it out. BUT AT YOUR OWN RISK.
