Thanks for the suggestion.
It may be worth your while to find out for sure if your XP CD from IBM is installing an additional partition. If I were you I would at least check with fdisk. It shouldn't bother the boot process, as IBM usually sticks the recovery partition after the Windows install. I have a tri-boot IBM Thinkpad and have not had any of these problems. I am assuming XP installed without complaining? If you can start from scratch wipe the drive, install XP first, then Linux. At the time I did this is was strongly recommended that Windows gets installed first (Not just on the first partition, but before Linux). I have had not problems with grub or lilo. You may try to switch boot loaders, but I prefer grub. I am sorry I can't be more help, hopefully this provides a little insight. - James W.
