Unallocated disk space is what the installers like. Then RTFMs ... Have a look at the forums: 'Linux/XP' in google will give you some ideas from people who have done it. Have a good look at the HOWTO files on your installation CDs, and the READMEs etc at the root of the install CD. Those will give you uptodate information for your distribution.	Guest (0)

I prefer to use Lilo because you can use the uninstall option and reload the previous MBR whereas Grub does not allow that.	Guest (0)
