If you press CTL-ALT-F2, are you able to setup the partitions from 
terminal 2, using fdisk (Linux)?

The only issues that I have read and have had myself were with sometimes 
needing to add an additional entry in the XP grub entry is to add the 
parameter makeactive to get XP to boot.

Do you have unpartitioned space to create the partitions?

I live in America and don't really want to pay for support either. I was 
thinking of paying for RHN premium access, but fortunately passed on the 
$60  a year deal. Some services come, others fade. Computer OS'es should 
not cost anything. Ideas grow fuller when free. IMO.

No offense.
