It won't it you understand what can &/or will happen, and avoid the booby
traps.

Only use partitioning tools that aren't included with operating systems
(except when absolutely necessary) and such things don't happen.

There's always space in front of everything if no primary partitions are
created. W2K needn't, and arguably, shouldn't be in front of anything.

Very true.

Some things to remember:
1-IBM BM must be protected agains W2K. SP2 will do it. DFSee will do it.
2-Set the windoze target partition active with correct type before installing
windoze and it won't mess with other partitions, except an unprotected BM
3-Use LVM only for installation and for creating JFS volumes. Use something
else for creating partitions and compatability volumes. (e.g. DFSee)
