If you're going to repartition, installing a boot manager is sort of 
the logical next step.  Most modern installations make the procedure of 
partitioning and installing a boot loader pretty painless.  The only 
thing you'll have to look out for is how to resize the XP partition.

	My plan is 2 just buy a second hard drive and partition it with
Linux.  	I would just  repartition the my current drive but
everyone I have 	asked has told me that the only way to
repartition an XP drive is with 	Partition Magic.... like I have
that kind of money...  I was hoping I 	could still use the same boot
manager thou.
