[GLLUG] Grub vs NTLDR

No problems at all. Just make sure you install Windows first, or the
Windows install will whack your MBR.

Okay - Dual boot question.

I have set up a few dual boot systems in my past.  One Slackware, one
RH9 and one Debian.  

At ONE point I had a real problem with GRUB and XP (XP wouldn't boot
anymore.)  Anyway, the way I have it set up now my system uses the NTLDR
(had to copy blah blah you guys know the drill, right?)  This seemed
like a pain in the butt.

Now I am considering reinstalling linux on this machine (it's a
Thinkpad T42, btw) and wanted some opinions on which way to go with
this.

Has anyone experienced freakouts when using grub and XP Pro?

Thanks,
