What I originally said: "Everyone, and I mean everyone I've talked to says
you can't setup dual boot with XP being installed second" -I just didn't get
the chance to talk to you :-)

I happened to start a thread earlier here:
https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-users/2007-December/131897.html

and I think on another thread as well but I didn't get any takers here...but
all responses I did receive say "XP first" , which I agree it really
shouldn't matter but, until recently, and I admit this wasn't an exhaustive
search, all info says let XP setup finish (probably due to it not wanting to
install itself in a dual boot environment and what it might do to grub etc.)

I'll spend some time in this thread later thanks for the information.
