Bill,
This is the way I did it. My hard drive was 15 GB. I created the
following partitions.
1.) 100 MB C: DOS partition. Used for troubleshooting.
2.) 7 GB D: Windows 2000 NTFS partition.
3.) Whatever is left over E: Linux 7.3.
I created the DOS partition, then Windows 2000. After this I then
installed Linux 7.3. It worked great.

Casey ... I haven't done a dual-boot in a long time but, IIRC, you can
get
pretty good instructions from the Linux Documentation Project. (Try
using the
google search engine for that term).
IIRC, you first fdisk using Linux, reserving a portion of your hard
drive for
a fat32 partition. Then install Windows. It will only see the fat32
partition
and be happy to install there. Then install Linux and all should be
well.
That's the rough outline. There are other ways of doing it and at least
1,000
things that can go wrong but this way uses the tools you already own.
Welcome to Linux ... put on your anti-radiation hat and your flame-proof
skivies ... yer gonna love this place!
