There have been several articles written describing how to install Vista after installing another OS. You could start with this one, or Google for others. http://apcmag.com/5045/how_to_dual_boot_vista_with_linux I ran across a Microsoft KB article describing how to accomplish it also; but for the life of me, I cannot find it again. If I feel ambitious at some future point, I might re-investigate it. BTW, from what I have read, Vista does not have to be on the primary partition any longer. It simply needs to be on the active one to boot. I have not investigated that however. --=20 Gerard gerard@seibercom.net QOTD: "Sure, I turned down a drink once.
