Just delete the FAT32 partition and make linux and swap partitions. You'll want at least 2 linux partitions a / and /boot besides of course the swap. Just overwirte the MBR and during the install add XP to the grub config. --> Cool, but why would I be deleting the FAT32 partition? As I mentioned, it contains the paging file for WinXP. Basically, there is 15GB in the middle of the two partitions that I was hoping on using. R/S Ryan
