I really hope you guys can help me, because I'm in desperate need of some advice.
I have a Acer Travelmate 8104 laptop and have installen gentoo.
My partitions look like this (physical)
sda1(64M) | sda2(1024M) | sda3(50000M) | Unpartitioned space (50000M)
I also installed grub.
All good and well, but for school I need to install Visual Studio 2005 (to program in vb.net) and therefor need to install winXp.
Acer has provided me with recovery disks to install windows with sp2 and all the drivers I need for my laptop.
The problem is, it will destroy the gentoo instalation at which I spend so much time to perfect :p. This is why I need to move EVERYTHING back, so It'll look like this
Unpartitioned Space | sda1 | sda2 | sda3
How can I accomplish this?

Install winxp on the unpartitioned space, then install grub and specify things in grub.conf in the following manner.
| Code: | title=Windows Xp
root (hd0,0)
chainloader +1
|
The hd0,0 parameters will be as applicable in your case.
best!
