One important remark, Bas. Put Windows on the disk that is the first in 
the BIOS. No matter where it is in hardware order, but it has to be 
first in the BIOS. If it is not, Windows will refuse to install with a 
sinister remark that it cannot partiition.
Sometimes you can change the order in the BIOS, then that is fine. Put 
the Windows disk first and all will go well.

Beware windows!

This is probably the reason people advise against installing anything 
but Windows first.

Regards, Guus.
