If anyone has a >problem, it is Windows not cooperating with Linux. May be. But it does not really help me, that it should be Windows which prevents a cooperating. Having a working Windows OS for me is a must, sorry about that. >When I install Windows first, and then Linux on a seperate partition, I get a >nice prompt when I boot asking which OS I'd like to boot to.

This is all easily correctable by a >single command in Linux of course. Well, nearly every half year I test such installation variants. Last time it works for several bootings, but then the file system was completely disrupted. And It does not really matter, which OS hast to be blamed for that. May be Linux is cheap. But testings, multiple installations and restoring procedures are much to cost expensive for me. It is no alternative for me first having to become a Linux expert before being able to install such a coexistence. It seems for me, that Zeta (a BeOS follower) could be a more promising second OS candidate in short instead of Linux. Regards, Reinhard.
