Boris Posted August 17, 2008 Report Share Posted August 17, 2008 I'm no Linux expert, ................ but I believe that it is normally much easier to set up a dual booting system if you have installed XP first ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seshomaru Samma Posted August 22, 2008 Report Share Posted August 22, 2008 I believe you will have to format a partition as FAT32 for Windows to see as Xp cannot see Ext3 Of course it should see the empty partition but sometimes it just doesnt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
