Xp/V64/Backtrack Linux/Server2003

Getting rather complex now but I need the server partitions for my MCSA work> I dont use Backtrack often just when testing a few things really or testing security.

I tend to run Vista on the physical machine and run other OS's in virtual environments.

I had to fix an old VAIO FXA32 that I'm giving away to a friend and he sent it back to me for repair(note to self not give stuff away anymore).

Dual booting on a 15 gig drive.

5 gig on Winxp pro and 8 gigs running Ubuntu 8.10 desktop edition.

I used to run XP and SUSE, but now I just use VirtualBox and run SUSE inside XP, along with any other distro I wanna try out. I have a spare HDD though so I may try dual booting with two drives. I'd probably go for SUSE or Fedora 11 as the second OS with XP as first.
