Some time ago I tried to do that, but the computer refused to boot (No OS  
found, or something like that), so I had to add the /boot partition to the  
windows boot menu (boot.ini). I don't know if this is something that  
happens for all ThinkPads, or only for mine (R51), or if it's my fault  
somehow. Still, I didn't touch the MBR.
