it's not possible to install wibdows on a logical partition, only on primary one.
I thought you were smarter than that. Just like I usually install Linux to a logical (IOW rarely to a primary) I never "install" Windows to a primary. http://fm.no-ip.com/install-doz-after.html shows a small disk partitioned with both Windows and Linux booting from primaries but "installed" to logicals. Windows is little different from Linux in that its boot files can live on a partition separate from OS files. A (small) C: primary to Windows directly corresponds to a (small) /boot on a primary in Linux. Someday just for kicks if nothing else, boot a W2K or WinXP installation CD with a HD that has several empty and non-empty partitions on it of both native and non-native partition types and watch it ask you to select a partition to install to. If "C:" is too small it won't even allow you to select it. -- " A patriot without religion . . . is as great a paradox, as an honest man without the fear of God. . . . 2nd U.S. President, John Adams Team OS/2 ** Reg.
