That is very strange as I have very recently done exactly the same and there were no problems at all starting Windows XP afterwards. Some questions: - Which filesystem did you use for XP? NTFS or VFAT? - How did you install XP? To the whole disk or to a smaller partition? - If you used the whole disk, how did you resize the partition to make room for Debian? - How did you set up the partitions to be used by Debian? - Can you reproduce the problem? I have never seen any reports where only installing grub would cause these problems. Cheers, FJP -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
