I am happy to say that I really like Mandrake 7.1.  Finally it has the
support for my video card "voodoo 3000", and some of my usb devices =).  I
only have one problem.  I can't get to my windows 2000 partition anymore.
When the boot loader install came up, I sat there for about 5 minutes
thinking about, should I make life easy and boot from a disk or try a boot
loader.  Well I went with GRUB, and setup an extra option to boot from my
NTFS partition which is /hda1.  GRUB comes up fine, but when I choose the
2000 partition is bombs out with an error.  I know the error is important to
know, but I can't remember exactly what it is.  My first question is can I
bootup with the 2000 boot disks and fdisk /mbr and remove the bootloader.  I
wasn't sure because it's a NTFS partition and not fat.  Is lilo or Grub
compat with a NTFS partition?

did I mention I love this mailing list =)
