Hi,
Thanks to all who have thrown more light on this multi booting scenario. I will take these suggestions and install Linux and come back to U for any further problems.

Hi Ragav, Hi everyone, the SuSE support DB shows two examples for booting NT and Linux, this could be helpful for the use of NT's boot manager. I have a slightly different description here, if needed (includes a sample boot.ini) I'll translate and post it. For your disk, it's odd that only ~530 MB are below 1024; will this be different if you choose another setting in BIOS Setup? (LBA mode etc.) I also wonder wether the linux boot partition could be MSDOS formatted, as Warrl et al. nicely described the stuff needed for booting is handled by the BIOS (read: the bootsector stores absolute pointers to absolute disk sectors to collect the stuff for booting, this is filesystem independent. You need sort of FS support to store it there, but not for booting) This could "save" a partition. I do not feel happy about probable MS internal incompatibilities (FAT32 / NTFS - WinXX / WinNT) that come with that problem No Windows here, I cant test.
