I like to use cfdisk for partitioning. Be aware that it's very easy to lose data when messing around with partitions. You've been warned. If you have space on your drive for a new partition (or a Linux partition you can split), then yes, just create the partition. As mentioned, I like cfdisk, but parted/qparted might be of value here. Once the partition is created, install Windows. As I recall, NT insisted on being on the first partition of the first drive (XP and Vista are more forgiving in that regard); this will likely spoil your plans unless your free space is on the front of your drive. NT absolutely will write over the MBR; you'll need some way after the install to reinstall LILO; I generally use Knoppix for this. -- Kent West Westing Peacefully <http://kentwest.blogspot.com> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
