No, the issue is that win2k/NT *has* to be on the
first partition on the drive or it won't load.

_thats_ been a known issue with NT forever. Most familiar with NT already know this

There is nothing wrong with being nice about it and including a warning,
is there? It seems like something that might happen fairly often.

You are addressing a windows issue
Win2K has its own bootloader, which will boot various windows versions.
While we mormally have no problem with this, it seems to break down

Well, obviously everybody in the world except for me knew that Windows
will not run from the 2nd partition. I will just re-install. The Windows
installation is new anyway and I have no real data that is lost.
I *do* think a warning in the installer would be a good idea though!

Actually, that is not true. It is not in the documentation. When I was
installing I followed along with the documentation. The step in question
is at:

Well, that can be endlessly discussed. There are
two kinds of people: those who read the docs and those who
don't.

Mandrake Linux 8.1 is working fine, but if I restart the machine and
choose windows at the startup screen, my Windows 2000 parition won't load.
Any suggestions as to what I might try?
