IMO though it will be easier to use the boot loader provided by your Linux distro. This will either be LILO, which is the easiest to set up, or Grub, which is a little more complicated but more powerful. If you are using one of the more user-friendly distros like Suse or Fedora you needn't worry about the setup as the installer will do it all for you.
I didnt even think of that :o my newbieness is showing again
I take it I can set the bootloader to use windows as the primary boot and Linux as a secondary? (Wich will only load when I want it to)
Sorry to be asking some dumb questions but I would really rather not fubar the windows install on my laptop again so im trying to get all this down before I start
