Dear Mr. McDaniel:

Thank you for your response.


Interesting; I have not read that.

Not quite true -- Disk 0, Partition 1 must be a primary partition
formatted in any Windows-readable filesystem, where ntldr and boot.ini
are stored. WinXP can then be installed on *any* partition including
an extended partition, on any disk, as long as boot.ini points to the
correct partition. Same for Vista.

I have a tiny FAT-32 partition containing boot files for several OSs
including both Windows and non-MS systems. I picked FAT-32 because
it is supported by every OS that I use.
