other issue i'm wondering about is installing
linux alongside windows
(barf!) xp... ughh... i swore i'd never use XP but its come pre
installed. borg edition, yuck.... but i need it for work.
so i'm thinking maybe with xp being so difficult, running lnx4win
might be an idea, but would this be more demanding on system
resources? i'd like to partition the drive but im not sure how to go
about this on XP... yuk yuk yuk... win2k was easy enough though....
*sigh*....
I managed to do this on my laptop - I have XP and linux working dual
boot (although I haven't booted XP in months - I just keep it cos I had
to pay for it... )
The only difficulty is that you have to get a recent version of
partition magic (8?) to resize the xp ntfs partition - it's a different
version to win2k.
I managed it Ok anyway, and I'm usually hopeless with that kind of
thing...
