I'm planing on installing Windows 2k Pro or XP, on a 15gb HD. But I want to know the proper way to do this before I try it, as I can't really afford to reformat and start over with my entire system. Currently I have the following setup. Filesystem Type Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on /dev/hda3 reiserfs 24G 1.5G 22G 7% / proc proc 0 0 0 - /proc devpts devpts 0 0 0 - /dev/pts /dev/hda1 ext3 7.6M 4.8M 2.5M 67% /boot /dev/hda5 reiserfs 49G 15G 34G 31% /home /dev/hda6 reiserfs 2.4G 33M 2.3G 2% /tmp /dev/hdb1 reiserfs 15G 33M 15G 1% /data usbdevfs usbdevfs 0 0 0 - /proc/bus/usb /dev/hdb1 will be what I'm going to install Windows 2k Pro or XP on. What I need to know is, when I install Windows 2k Pro or XP, what will I need to do to ensure that my Linux is still bootable. Is there something I need to do PRIOR to installing windows? Only reason I am installing windows is that there are some programs that I just can't get running on linux (games mostly, my stress relief), but also this is a learning experience for me. I'm in no rush to install windows. If I could play all my games I like on Linux, I'd never go back to windows.
