>> Try and keep the windows partition under 8 GB and the first primary
>> partition.

>Why try to keep it under 8GB, as a matter of interest?

Some Boot Loaders/Managers still use CHS transaltions when trying to
find boot sectors. It would not surprise if this was the case with the
Windows Text Mode Installation. No free space or availble partition
which starts at under 8GB/1024 Cylinder  Croak and die!!.

Just trying to elimanate the possability.
