Windows XP

Hi,

I am running XP professional in Fat 32 with Mandrake and Lilo.

I wanted to convert to NTFS for security reasons but when I try from within XP get a message about a partition that will be overwritten. Any ideas? I don't want to wipe off Linux (XP good but not that good).

Also, anyone know how to triple boot using a second HDD (i.e. XP and Linux on one and Win 98 on another?).

Well I have a triple boot with Win98, XP, and RH7.2. I have RH on its on hd and win98 and xp on their own hd. I did have to install xp and win98 before RH or else I was getting problems w/ the boot loaders. When you install xp and win98 you get the xp boot on the first hd and then install linux on whatever partition or hd you want. grub or lilo will kick in first then the xp loader w/ a prompt to load xp or 98.

This may not be the only way but it worked for me.

Good Luck
