Well that did not go to plan!

I formated my 160gig drive so that there was C = 120gig and D = 40gig, I formated partion C as NTFS and installed windows xp on it and left partion D unformated.

When I installed linux it did not install it on the unformatted space it automatically re-partioned drive C, reduced the part windows was on to 40gig and created two more partions one using 10gig and which had linux put on it and the other partion was around the remainder of the space????????

Drive D or the partion I created called D was left untouched????????

It all worked though when I chose windows windows booted up and worked and vice versa I just did not like the way it setup the partions on my drive!

So I reformatted my HDD in to 1 partion C, and re-installed xp!
