Specifically I want to know what to do about the boot manager? I don't want to damage Windows XP in the process. My system currently has Windows XP Home edition on a 30 gig partition and another 9 gigs or so free at the end. I have read some newsgroups, but some people are saying that its not a good idea to use the nt boot loader.
