(Yet another reason) Why I Hate Windows

I needed some more disk space to install SuSE 10.1, so I used the 
utility on the SuSE install DVD to shrink the Linux partition in front 
of it (Fedora 7 - hda7).  The shrink function worked nicely; my Fedora 7 
install was not damaged.

However, when I tried booting into Win XP (on hda1) I got the startup 
error screen.  I had to run the repair installation routine, during 
which I had to hunt down the mobo driver CD.  Fortunately, the restore 
worked, and it did not overwrite the MBR.

Be warned.
