I would suggest that you run FC1 (better if FC2), then download VMware 4.5.1, then give me your email address to give you some instructions. With VMware installed, you can run XP simultaneously and share files between the two OS's.

thanks Saklay, i saw that VMWare does allow WinXP to run, but the problem is that its only a trial verision, and that it requires a good bit of ram. I think what ill do is dl Win4Lin and get Win98SE as one of the guest systems. Hopefully that will be enought to get most of the programs i need running. And of course ill keep the duel boot.

I just had a thought.....is there a way to be able to access 2 different partitions? Like get files on my windows partition when my linux is running and so on?

NeoSpawn, with VMware 4.5.1 and above installed, you can get files from your Windows partition as long as VMware is running.
