Ok... here's what I've done so far - I deleted my FAT32 partition, and
I'm making a 2GB FAT32 partition in fdisk for Windows. That leaves 2GB
of sector space left on the drive for BDI to deal with; that a viable
way to do things?

i would let the 'custom' part of the BDI do that, it's got a nice
graphical
setup
just remember to do the 'custom' install, or it will try to repartition
and
reformat everything... i think (never actually done anything BUT a
custom
install).
you can use toms root boot floppy to save everything on you disk if you
have
somewhere to keep it
boot with it and do a man tar
you can use tar and bz2
to consolidate everything on the drive and then zip it up
that is what i do to backup this system (but it's dual booting right
now, so
i do it from the linux side, then reboot and burn the bziped file to a
cd---they have all compressed to less then 600 megs so far

That's what I'm doing right now - just checking Windows for stuff I need
to save. Should I make a partition in fdisk for Linux part/swap or just
FAT32 and let Linux make it's own partition?

boot with a win98 boot floppy with fdisk on it, then fdisk the drive,
manually making a partition just for windows

That's the part I could never figure out how to do - windows always
wants to grab the entire drive. In the past I once resorted to
installing win3.1 (which is more cooperative) onto the desired
partition, then uprgrading it to win95. So more recently I've just
used a seperate drive or a seperate computer...
