Brian,
I am dual-booting with NT and it works fine. When you follow the steps
to create a boot/install disk and follow through the menu selections for an
install, it showed me a list of my HD partitions and free space and asked me
where I wanted it to go. It even recommends default partition sizes and asks
you if you want to use the boot manager.
If you are using NT, the on-line handbook explains how you can use the
NT loader for dual booting.
David
