NOw I am getting pissed.
I installed Linux. Got it up and running. Life was good. Then I tried to add windows. I had 3 partitions. Judging by sizes one appeared to be the Linux boot partition. The other appeared to be swap space. The third appeared to be the wide open spaces of my virginized hard disk. I used the handy dandy windows partitioning tool to chop up the remaining space into a manageable chunk, but XP still didn't like it. I kept going in circles between "XP would like to install setup files, but doesn't like your partition" to "pick a partition you want to install Windows on" and back and forth. So I thought I would go into Linux and see if there was some UNIXy way (sfdisk, cfdisk, etc) to do it, but Linux won't start now.
Curses.
It likes one, but not the other. I wonder if that was a little bit of "added functionality" to not like any other OS?
so now I am stuck.
