I managed to do this on my laptop - I have XP and linux working dual
boot (although I haven't booted XP in months - I just keep it cos I had
to pay for it... )
The only difficulty is that you have to get a recent version of
partition magic (8?) to resize the xp ntfs partition - it's a different
version to win2k.
I managed it Ok anyway, and I'm usually hopeless with that kind of
thing...
