Hi,

On my previous notebook, there were Windows recovery on first partition,
Windows XP on second one and there was third partition for personal data.

I used GPARTED to create fourth partition by splitting third one to two.
Then, i installed NetBSD onto third one and used GAG to create a new
boot/mbr. It was easier to install GAG then GRUB, and also it preserved
previous settings too... Fourth partition had fat32 format, so that windows
and netbsd could both write data on it (data sharing).

Regards,
