Also, if you expect ot be able to use the apps on such a partition after an OS reinstall I'd have to disappoint you. A lot of apps, especially M$ ones, 2gb per OS should do if you're parking the apps elswehere. Install 2k first, then XP and you can use windows' bootmanager, saves you a bit of hassle.

Re: Installing Windows XP after Vista in Dual Boot Configuration
You then install SuSe with it's boot loader (LiLo or Grub, probably) in the SuSe / or /boot partition not in the MBR (that instruction will make more sense after you've installed a Linux system), and then configure the boot manager to boot your SuSe system.

Re: Back to multi-booting the RAID - again. . .
So when you install xp after vista, the key point is to restore the boot sector. If you don't, you can write all the MBRs you want, they won't fix your problem. The first command rebuilds the MBR to use the Vista boot manager. The second does the same thing as bootsect.exe and tells the bootsector where to find

Re: uninstall dual boot with XP
After you install to the first partition you will still have two Windows XP installations on the computer, you can simply delete the one on the second partition.

Re: dual boot..8.2 and xp
Yes, the Windows 2000/XP MBR boots Vista without problems, so does the Windows 98 MBR, as long as you edit and restore the disk signature after you install it.
