  riaditel asks how to install both win xp pro and debian on same computer

  riaditel: this is english language mailing list so you'd get a lot 
more responses if you'd write in english (toto je anglicky hovoriaci 
mailing list, dostal by si o dost viac odpovedi keby si komunikoval po 
anglicky)

  not sure how to make win wp stop fighting, I resolved the issue by 
installing linux on hdc (c:) and set lilo so that it tricks win xp into 
thinking d: is c: so it happily sits on D: and think it has disk C: 
available (so whatever it does to MDR etc. is not a problem for LILO).

  this is LILO entry for windows:

other = /dev/hdb2
	label = win
	boot-as = 0x80 # pretend to be C:

  you can do similar trick using grub, I just don't know how:-)
