RE: Gentoo and WinXP

Hi,
	Typically, you would install XP first then install Gentoo. I've
got 3 machines doing exactly that at the moment. Two using LILO and one
using the Windows boot manager (since the drive Gentoo is on is a second
laptop drive that I pull out from time to time and LILO wouldn't work).

. Hi, I recently installed Gentoo to be dual-booted with XP.  I 
. installed 
. Gentoo first and got it to work just fine.  After a few days 
. of playing 
. around in it, getting settings to my liking, etc, I installed 
. XP.  To my 
. disappointment, after installing XP, Gentoo wouldn't boot at all. 
.  Unfortunately, I don't remember the error and have since I 
. reformatted 
. everything, but it seemed as though installing XP screwed up the TOC. 
.  Now, this seemed odd to me because, with Mandrake, I would 
. reinstall XP 
. multiple times (Windows needs that you know :-\) and it would never 
. cause any problems to Linux.  So, my question is has anyone else 
. experienced trouble dual-booting?  Has anyone tried reinstalling XP 
. after Gentoo was installed?  I ask especially because I reinstall 
. Windows every 4 months or so and I'm hoping I won't have to reinstall 
. Gentoo sop often as well :-\
. 
. Thanks in advance!
. Brian
