The result is ME in a C:Windows\ folder and Win2k in C:WINNT\ but all else shared. I assume there is only the one partition for both but will confirm that tonight when I Partition-Magic some empty space for FC3 to do its thing. Do the above grub.conf modifications apply if I verify there is currently only one DOS partition? Also - when I Partition-Magic I will create a vfat virtual partition (as I have done successfully in past for clean DOS/Linux file sharing), will that affect the grub.conf lines? Thanks, bob
