[ILUG] cfdisk/lilo and WinXP/NTFS compatible?

[Ciaran O'Riordan]

Hi all,
   I was doing a linux install on a box that has WinXP,
when it came to partitioning cfdisk* claimed the following:

disk    type           size(Mb)
hda1   Dell Utility      32.91
hda2   NTFS           19979.21
        Free Space         8.23

*cfdisk is the standard tool used by Debian GNU/Linux "testing"

ok, so I'm guessing cfdisk meant to say Kb but it takes
away from my confidence in lilo handling this job
correctly :(

...also, NTFS! I wasn't expecting that. ...and what's a "Dell
Utility" partition when it's at home?

To the point: Are there any known issues or success
storyings or cautions regarding WinXP & cfdisk/debian/lilo


???
