hi everyone,

After a while WinXP started really complaining (and crashing)
What can you expect from Windows, that's one of its features.

Seriously, I have not tried XP. I am using Win2K Pro/Knoppix 4 with GRUB bootloader in mbr and Windows is quite happy with it. I still have windows installed in FAT32 partition. I don't like NTFS. Most problem with dual boot Win/Linux are caused by NTFS. Once its messed up its a real mess (knoppix cd to the rescue).
