Hello, |
| 2 |
|
| 3 |
Once again, I'm installing several amd64 systems with dual boot XP. |
| 4 |
I always have to nuke the XP, reformat, leave sda1 for XP and continue |
| 5 |
on with the install. Since I am installing Gentoo first (amd64 livedcd) |
| 6 |
is there any things to watch out for, when I go back and put XP on the sda1 |
| 7 |
partition? |
| 8 |
|
| 9 |
I seem to only get this right about 50% of the time. I guess when I put XP |
| 10 |
on the sda1 partition, I need to keep it from writing to the MBR, or have |
| 11 |
a recovery method? Maybe a recovery floppy to restore the MBR if XP writes |
| 12 |
over it? |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
No matter what I try, I seem to have a knack for getting it right on the |
| 15 |
second or third attempt. |

comments and advice are welcome. Resizing the XP partitioning (NTFS) without |
| 19 |
reformatting nevers seems to work for me. |
