Mulitple OS set up; PQMagic BootMaqic is used to select the OS. I have a DOS
partition (hda1), win2k in a primary partitiion (hda2), and Linux distros. I
have plenty of space in the extended.
In what ways will installing it in the extended partion (1) affect my boot
manager and (2) affect the win2k installation, especially if/when I uninstall
RC1?

Thanks,
 
if you are planning on going back after the BETA testing is over, you maybe
better off not installing vista. if you do you will have to restore your MBR
with your W2000 install CD, or just suck it up and get the new OS.
 
Thanks for the info. The MBR is under the control of Boot Magic; the only
issue I may have is removing the boot record for win2k/vista, both are
available, in separate partitions.

Works fine, lasts a ... well maybe not a long time, but for a time....
