Easiest way yet

Dual boot on a single drive system seems to be no problem.

A multi drive system has been a headache no matter which distro I have installed. And not work half the time. I had to resort to the bios boot table the AMI bios has on the one machine.

Using bootpart made this install the easiest yet. I did copy the boot.ini to CD for future installs. I have a scheduled job that creates a copy of important config/option files like this. Found it was necessary as Win98 needed to be reinstalled every 18 mos or when the spyware overruns the winxp system.

Thanks for the info
