I know this is a linux forum but I also know many of us multi-boot.
I need some help with installing and booting xp from a second hard
drive. I know there is a lot of information on google but I am getting
a migraine wading through it and restarting my machine with the xp
installation disc.
I know xp is being phased out but I need it for some games.
I have slackware and openbsd on /dev/sda. No problems there. I bought a
western digital caviar 680G

This is an oem drive. I used cfdisk to give it a ntfs of 100g and then
formatted it with gparted. The problem I'm having is when I go to
install Windows I get to the screen about using a partition and I get
an error saying something like I don't have a valid xp partition. I've
tried deleting and letting windows create a partition but it refuses.
I was hoping to get this finished this weekend. Any help would be
appreciated.
