OK I should be getting my 200 gig HD next week and want to be prepared to try and get this installed so i can duel boot with XP
now I'm guessing XP will have to be installed first. Ive read if you install Linux first XP will override your Linux install is that true???
when I make a Linux partitions this is what is confusing the shit out of me it apparently makes 3 partitions ??
do I just leave 10 GIG un allocated space then run the mandrake installer and choose the 10 gig unallocated space and Linux will do the work and make the 3 out of the 10 gig or.... do I have to create the 3 partitions first ffs.
also is it possible to duel boot with 2 different HDs like use my 80 gig HD for linux and 200 gig for windows. or for a duel boot to be possible for this does it have to be the same HD??
