I can say that back int the redhat 6.3 days, i was able to get redhat to |
| 23 |
boot from the NT4 loader. And i could have sworn that there was a HOWTO |
| 24 |
on the LDP, but i can't find it now. |

So at least 5 or 6 years ago it could have been done. But with such nice |
| 27 |
bootloaders as grub and lilo, why would you want to bother with XP's... |
| 28 |
just create a boot disk for XP, just in case you hose grub, and you'll |
| 29 |
always be safe. |
