Hi Craig,

You don't say what type of PC you are using.

I have a Pentium II, and I have my Linux (RedHat 6.0) as Primary
Master, and have Win95b on my Secondary Master. 

I have no problems booting Windows from the Secondary Master, either
by way of drive selection at boot up (Bios Option), or from Lilo.

I prefer linux to be on the Primary Master, that way Lilo is on the
linux hdd and not the Windows HDD, so no problems with stuffing
Windows (IT does that well enough on its own).

I don't know whether or not all Pentium II motherboard/Bios 's allow
such booting.
