>>How do all these "other" operating systems work with MS? I don't mean running them at the same time, but you can use the utilities from things like Linux, FreeBDS, etc to do everything up to the point of intalling XP? I guess it kind of makes sense, as the things prior to intalling are not OS-dependent by their very nature. Is that it? I'm just a little wary of using these products and wondered what you thought.

Though, if you want any of the Windowses installed with anything else, install oldest Windows first, newer Windows next, Linux/FreeBSD last. Because the Windows always screws the MBR and wants to own the boot loader. My XP overstepped the Vista's boot loader when I installed it (even though it was on a separate partition). Linux/BSD is a much better neighbor, it doesn't tread over anything unless you tell it to.
Depends on how you view things. Linux usually installs GRUB and uses its boot manager to start windows - which makes using windows repair functions/disks a no-no. Each OS usually wants to own the MBR. In an older version of Knoppix you could build an "in-between" install allowing you to copy the CD-Rom (I said older <g>) to your HD and start the grub loader and mini-Ram-disk from the windows boot.ini - much nicer IMHO, as Windoze is still my main OS.
