I've recently deleted all the logical partitions using cfdisk. That made
the windows instaler to start just fine. So it seems to me that the
windows xp installer has some kind of problem with extended linux
partition. I'm trying to figure out if there's a way around this,
whitout losing all my linux partitions, of course.

Windows is having a problem because there is no primary partition to
install itself on. What did you expect?

What do you mean? I still have space in the partition table for two
primary partitions: /dev/hda3 and /dev/hda4, don't I?
