Don't get confused on boot loaders, boot managers and MBR's.

They really have nothing to do with file systems as such.

"Best Practices", Event viewer, host file, perfmon, antivirus, anti-spyware, Live CD's, backups, are in my top 10

I haven't used dual boot in a long time but if I remember correctly, Windows always wanted/had to be installed first.

How do you know when a politician is lying? His mouth is moving.
