11 OK, well I have a dual boot with Windows happening here as you
12 probably can tell. Its all on the one hard drive.

14 Partition 1 (grub 0)(hda1) = Windows XP (NTFS)
15 Partition 2 (grub 1)(hda2) = Gentoo /boot (reiserfs)
16 Partition 3 (grub 2)(hda3) = Linux Swap
17 Partition 4 (grub 3)(hda4) = Gentoo / (Including /home) (reiserfs)
