    I have yet to venture into the new world of more than one partition,
    never mind another OS. No plans to do so either. And amongst our
    family I'm the expert.

    No.

    The Windows directory can be on any local drive. The boot sector needs
    to be on whichever partition is defined as active (but this can be also
    done using a chain-loading boot manager like lilo or grub - my setup at
    home has Ubuntu on the first drive and WinXP on the second - with the
    winxp loader also on the second drive but chain-loaded by grub if I
    select WinXP from the boot menu).

    LILO is the One True Bootloader.

    To be fair the 'average' Windows user won't know about boot.ini and
    won't ever need to. Windows writes it at install (or re-install) and
    the last disk utility I used to move a Windows setup from one disk to
    another re-wrote the boot.ini for me.

    VVBG, and you with all that time on your hands too.

    You could keep the old grey matter ticking over if you tried y'know.
