Does anyone know if Windows XP Pro has a bug built in to stop working when Linux is installed? I installed linux once on a seperate hard drive and dual booted. One I did Windows XP stopped working.
 
I'm not sure, but I did it with 2000 Pro, and it worked fine, using Mandrake 8.2, using the slick dual boot program that came with the Linux. May have just been a newer version of LILO.
 
Hmm - I have Win XP Pro installed at home and have installed various flavours of linux in a dual boot configuration on that system without a problem.

Has worked with Redhat 7.1, Mandrake 8.2 and, most recently, Redhat 7.3.
