Shouldn't be too hard. The simplest thing to do would be to add a second hard drive (primary master) and install windows on that. Then use, for example, this: http://gonffen.f2o.org/archives/grub/x132.html to re-install on your MBR. Once you do, you can boot into Linux. Once in linux, edit /boot/grub/menu.lst to tell grub about your Windows Operating system. In my experience, people who say that Windows *must* be on the primary master are just plain wrong. Grub can work miracles. However, I'm fairly that the Windows *installer* requires that you install onto the primary master. This info could be useful if you want to keep your linux hard drive as /dev/hda so you don't have to monkey with /etc/fstab. Pete ps- If you don't mind me asking, is there a particular reason why you *must* install peachtree? Is that some kind of accounting software? Is there no opensource equivalent? No programs that can import peachtree data? -- Every theory is killed sooner or later, but if the theory has good in it, that good is embodied and continued in the next theory. -- Albert Einstein GPG Fingerprint: B9F1 6CF3 47C4 7CD8 D33E 70A9 A3B9 1945 67EA 951D _______________________________________________ vox-tech mailing list vox-tech@lists.lugod.org http://lists.lugod.org/mailman/listinfo/vox-tech
