Hi, from experience as a "decent sysadmin" I would say that people who need NT & Linux should use BootPart (from www.winimage.com). It is really a good utility and you don't have a risk of fucking up your system with the dreaded "LI" message ... Sincerely, Schlomo Schapiro --- email: [EMAIL

And do you bloat up the price of your Linux system by bying an MS license, too ? I think you shoot a bit beside the target here, I never ever met a system where Window helped me with HW diagnostics when I couldn't do it with Linux. Usually Windows is much worse (and you can't boot a Windows off a
