(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.
