I was a little more paranoid. One physical disk is Windows, and one is 
Linux, and never the twain shall meet! I installed Win2K on a system with 
the Linux disk *unplugged*. Then I put them back, with the Linux disk 
as /dev/hda and the windows one as /dev/hdb (or hdc). Windows can 
muck around with one disk as much as it wants, and I /should/ be safe... 
one hopes....
