I have never tried to install the way Mark say's to so can't verify if it will
work. However, I believe it should work and his advice is probably good. If you
really want a dual boot system......convert the NTFS partition back to FAT and then
install to it, converting on the fly (while installing) via the option Mark pointed
out for converting the partition file system type.
