That is what I did. I moved a swap partition and cleared an old
partition of linux and that is /dev/hda1 the first partition. The
problem is the fact that windows XP will not load into that first
partition on the first hard drive. There is some problem. I have tried
making it a number of windows file systems but so far XP just ignors it.

So I think the right answer is, nope don't try to load windows on a hard
drive with linux on it.


I've just read the archives.

Have you tried any fs other than FAT16?
Which ones?
What are you using to create the partition(s)?
What's the error message XP is throwing at you?
What's your current partition layout?
