Knowing that Windows would only mount the

Does this only apply to external hard drives? I've always put Linux as
my first partition on my single hard drive without any problem (now it's
with XP, but AFAIR also with 98SE before). I mean first partition both
``logically'' and ``physically'', e.g. what I have now is:
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/sda1 * 1 2611 20972826 83 Linux
/dev/sda2 2612 4569 15727635 7 HPFS/NTFS
And if I remember right, the Windows installer (booting from a windows
install CD) had the bad habit of renumbering the primary partitions if
their logical order was not consistent with their physical order. At
least it did it once, and I've never played with out-of-order partition
tables since ;-)
