Windows XP and Linux boot fine together. Most installers will configure this
automatically. If not this is the part of grub that you have to add.
# For booting Windows NT or Windows95
title Windows XP
root (hd0,0)
chainloader +1
Windows is installed on the first partition of the first disk. (hd0,0)
The second partition of the second disk would be (hd1,1)

Subject: RE: [SLUG] Resizing NTFS for LINUX install
So far very interesting, looks like most are pointing to the same two
pieces of software. I will check the disk, I just recently defragged
and compressed it, but will do so again. After it was done, I only had
8g used, so there should be plenty of space left even after I whack out
15G for my Linux partition.
I never understood how M$ who also wrote the HPFS code for OS/2 never
implemented the automatic defragmentation that they did in HPFS. My
OS/2 machine never had fragmentation issues. I guess they probably did
some sort of legal thing with IBM where they promised that they would
not put it in the OS.
Is there anything in particular I should know about doing the dual boot
thing with Windows X-Pee (I really like that one who ever it was that
used it!) and Linux?
