Hi Jim

I have never been able to get windows to boot without installing it  
first.  The windows installer will over write your mbr and mess up  
your linux install.  Never figured out how to stop it.   I just  
started doing without windows.

Back in the day, I used to do a clean install of 2K using windows  
installer to set aside a big partition for Linux.
