Hello Guus

Thanks for your suggestion.

To a certain extend, I already took this into account when partitioning.  The 
NTFS partition meant for Windows is nearly in the beginning of the hard disk: 
in sda2, which is immediately after sda1, the bootloader partition. 

However, one question remains in this context. On one hand, the HP I refer to 
contains just one HD. On the other hand, when installing, I need to put my usb 
CD/DVD drive first in the BIOS, with a view to be able to use the ISO DVD in 
that device. Is this a problem? Or can I effectively handle this situation by 
first installing Windows at sda2, before installing anything else at the other 
partitions? 

Respectfully yours,

Bas G. Roufs.
