I do both at the same time. :)

I already have a DF bootblock/loader on there which boots Windows XP
perfectly.  It just has issues booting to DF, which is weird as hell because
I used the same CD to install DF at about the same offset onto the disk when
I couldn't get Windows properly installed yet.  And that booted perfectly.
And now it doesn't.
I could try either a 4.x or 5.x bootblock, see how I fare.
