Dual boot (XP) best practice

[Michael Steigerwald]

FWIW, it's a SATA disk.

I've downloaded the repair CD image from Lenovo and can boot from it.
However, it complains about an error using RAM disk. It crashes whenever I
try FDISK32. I wonder if the CD image is bad, so I'm going to try a fresh
one.

TIA for any additional suggestions.
