I haven't seen much success with linux/win boot
managers.  If something goes wrong with them, access
to a partition is hindered.  On the linux install, I
created a start disk (+backup) and start linux that
way.  WinXX is a dominating OS.  Let it do what it
wants.  However, when you want to linux, slide in that
boot disk and your set.  It servers as a pretty good
security feature as well...

Note, you can't use the boot disk you create on
install on another linux box.  The parameters are
defined to suite individual installs.
