In my gentoo grub config (that's the only linux I have together with windows XP) it says # Windows title=Windows XP root (hd0,0) chainloader (hd0,0)+1 So that sort of matches your configuration. I still find it rather strange that Windows XP won't reinstall. I'm pretty sure there is a utility called 'FIXMBR' which fixes the master boot record (as you would kinda expect) to boot to windows. You should be able to access it via the rescue disks (which you of course created when installing windows), or the installation cd. However, be warned that it might then be hard to get into your debian system again... Dan
