Gandalf Parker uses Debian a lot (I think?), so maybe you can bug him until it all works for you
Sorry. I take the easy way out. I have a 5 machine network. My Debian Linux server is just a server. My WinXp desktop is just a desktop. As a system admin Ive always avoided dual boots. In fact, to work around it for my wifes use, her machine has two cases with one keyboard/video/mouse and a KVM switch to go back and forth between the Win98se and Linux.

I do HIGHLY recommend keeping the arrangment of NTFS for the WinXP OS drive and keeping a FAT drive for things like games. It has saved me alot of grief. I hear in the newsGroups all the time about people saying that they miss their old games because they have WinXP but Im still running things like Stars and MoM on mine. But again I did it the chicken way. Full drives instead of partitions.

I tried that, and all of my old DOS games ran no better from a FAT partition than they did from a NTFS one...
