I don't use Windows XP, because I have no control on important things in this OS.But I've written: choose Windows 9x.NTFS... Maybe will work, but I haven't tested it, because I don't use NTFS at all.Why put Linux and Windows on the same partotion ? Oh. Why not ?Now I ask U: why put Linux and Windows on different partitions ?

Linux: choose ZipSlack (Slackware)Windows: choose Windows 9xSteps:0) select (in your mind) one of your partitions for both OS-es (I've selected partition with filesystem FAT16)1) install Windows 9x on selected partition or copy into sectors binary image prepared before (for example using GHOST program)2) download ZipSlack Linux and decompress it on selected partition3) prepare menu for selecting OS after turning on your PC, using files autoexec.bat and config.sysyou can run your linux in this way - LINUX.BAT:@echo off\linux\loadlin \linux\vmlinuz root=/dev/hda3 rwrem where:rem loadlin.exe if file, which will load your linux into memoryrem \linux\ is directory with decompressed linux & localization of loadlin.exe filerem vmlinuz is Virtual Machine Linux ZipSlack binary image for loading into memoryrem /dev/ is directory \linux\dev\ and there are many devices handle-files for linuxrem hda3 is partition selected by U (I've selected first (means a) harddisk - hda, and third partition of this disk)rem you can (or should) select another partition !!4) download Ranish Partition Manager (PART program) on selected partition (VERY USEFULL THING)it is usefull for choosing partition from you want to start system (load to memory and running it from there)HAVE FUN
