I have a 30GB IDE HD with 3 partitions, all formatted as FAT32. I want to install WinXP onto the first partition and then mirror image the new system onto the second identical size partition with Norton Ghost. Prior to installing XP I was going to delete the third partition and leave it as free space for a future installation of Linux.
Can XP be installed in the way I have envisaged and if I subsequently convert to NTFS will it be necessary to retain a FAT/FAT32 partition for booting the system?
Will a future installation of Linux be likely to cause any problems if I have NTFS partitions?
Thanks, Alan
