True, W2K is very much more stable than Win98, but after a long period of use I suddenly had a massive BSOD from which I could not recover, and I could not even re-install W2K again. I don't believe Linux was in any way responsible for this, but the point is that all my data was in fat32 partitions, and therefore safe. So, for my money, whether windows only or dual boot, I would use separate partitions for data always, and fat32 are the most useful if dual booting. I have a good many partitions, and have had no problems whatsoever with this. Anne
Ironically (?) for me the one partition that corrupted was my FAT32 partition with a bunch of info/personal stuff I was going to burn that week for safe keeping :(
