[NTLUG:Discuss] ... stuggling with partitioning for dual boot ...

[Jack Snodgrass]

Assuming a new install....

Use fdisk or Druid. 
/boot ( linux ) should be the first primary parition
C ( fat32 ) should be the 2nd  primary partition. 
Everything else should be in a logical partion. 
D is the first fat32 drive in the logical partition. 
the linux stuff follows that. 
Make the C: partion active and install windows. 
after that is done, install linux. You should be 
able to use Lilo or Grub to boot off of either 
of the first 2 partions ( linux or windows )
