OK.  Not a problem =)  I have thought about this some more and
ultimately I cannot co mingle the OpSys in anything that the Windows
students will need to delete.

So, I'm back to square one using only one HD -

/dev/hda1 is WinXP/2003 Server
/dev/hda2 is /boot
/dev/hda3 is swap
/dev/hda4 is Extended (yadda yadda) with /dev/hda5 being Linux root /

Normally I manually just set /dev/hda4 as the last primary without any
extendeds but will try Mikkel's suggestion about using Partition 0
(/dev/hda1) as Extended and see what's what then =)
