with a new drive its VERY easy to set it up to be both Linux and windows.
firstly, use Linux to make the drive partitions. its got a better partition
method. just, for example, do this.
primary partition size mount point type
1 2Gb / Linux native ext2fs (or reiser ;-) )
2 8.5Gb <none> Win95 Fat32+extensions
3 6Gb /usr Linux native ext2fs (or reiser ;-)
4 512Mb <none> Linux swap
this would be for a 17Gb drive. Windows would then detect the 'Fat32'
partition as c: and install itself in that 8.5Gb space.
(512Mb swap????? yes, this is for a 256Mb PC)
