I made it easy on myself and installed a nie bloated distribution -
Fedora Core 3.  Anyway, I digress.

I don't know if the "hidden" area that IBM has set aside for
rebuilding/reinstalling and such is preserved.  All the "Access IBM"
features will still work in Windows, however.

Whether you use LILO or GRUB for your boot loader, either will
automagically boot to the Windows boot loader if you choose to boot
into Windows.  Otherwise, they'll boot your favorite Linux kernel
image.

I also used Partition Magic to resize my hard drive.
