Philippe,

I have a T43p with Windows XP (preload with the recovery partition) on
the boot disk as delivered.  I have Sun Solaris 10 (UNIX) on the 2nd
hard disk.  I use System Commander from Vcom to choose which OS to
boot.  I'm sure there are many ways to accomplish what you want -
I've been using various versions of System commander for years to
select which OS to boot (dates back to early versions of Solaris
and even OS/2).

Most Linux distributions use Grub to boot.  Grub can boot windows but
I don't know how to install it on the Windows disk - maybe others on
the list can comment.  Recent versions of Solaris use a Solaris specific
version of Grub that can handle Solaris, Linux, Windows, and maybe other
operating systems.
