And as for everything pikachu wrote.
Thanks. understanding it a bit more now.
When i first got the linux. i tried putting it on a seperate drive...
it installed that lilo boot loader. and it basically screwed my whole PC over.
boot up and 07 07 07 07 07 07 07 07 down the screen.
i could do nothing to get into either OS to delete the boot loader.
had to reinstall windows. from that point on I had it load Lilo on a floppy so it couldnt do that.
still tho. All 07's down the screen when booting.
finally i took the windows drive out. Made the linux the master. reintalled linux and it worked...
i thought about this for a while.
got some more of my pocket change
and bot another 80 GB Hard drive.
i partitioned that into 2 seperate ones. Installed linux First. worked fine. Then installed XP (XP gave me an option of what partition to intall XP on) but only NTFS.
so now it worked like...... Boot up = Windows............. Boot up w/ Floppy = Linux. (which i might reverse how that works once getting linux understood)
my old windows drive is now the Slave. so i would beleive it is also NTFS...... But, if Linux can read Fat32 better, i could just thro everything from the slave drive over, format the drive as fat32 then put all the stuff i want shared (ex: Mp3's) on the fat32 drive.
Oh yes. and pika.... which is your favorite linux? I had mandrake long ago. and i hate the thing. SuSE im finding i like very much. everything seems quicker and easier to set up on it. like my internet. i just clicked Auto setup and it did it for me. lol
