Here are the resources that I found when researching how to DB my Win2K 
(NTFS) machine:

I had Windows on 1 HD (used the whole drive). I put in another HD for 
linux (as Primary / slave, or Secondary / master - can't recall). I 
shrank the Windows partition to make room for /boot. I installed F7 on it.

When F8 was released, I fresh-installed it. I noticed that it created a 
/boot1 - perhaps I did something 'wrong'?
