>From personal experience, I _always_ put winblows as the first partition. Once I tried puting it on primary partiion at the end if a disk, well, it just INGNORED the partition table, yes _ignored_, and started writing at the beginning of the disk!!!! It destroyed the entire disk! The disk was something like: 1 - Linux primary 2 - swap logical 3 - windows 95 or 98 primary (end of drive) So I junked the winblows disks..
