Can't get around it.
To give MS credit where it is due, that is not totally true. Win XP can be readily installed to any hard drive and while it is true that it will rewrite the MBR of HDA with its own boot loader, booting from the Mandrake CD and adding an entry to lilo.conf and then reinstalling lilo to the MBR will allow dual booting. Of course, you have to know what you are doing when you install Windows and IIRC, you have to manually create the installation partitions, not allow Windows to do it on its own. -- Bryan Phinney Software Test Engineer
