Reinstalling Windows and Linux at the same time

[<dchristian@std19.dorms2.macalester.edu>]

I have a friend who's reformatting his entire system.  He wants to know
whether he should load Linux first and then Windows or the other way
around?

What would you guys suggest?  Install Linux, (it will be on the same hard
drive as windows), then install Windows (will it recognize the partitions
and leave them alone?), then boot off a floppy and run lilo?

Will that work?

Thanks,
Dave
