Your problem may not be the boot block at all: you may just have to make the Windows boot partion the active partition. If you are chain loading Windows from the hipster boot menu, this would be the case. You need a partition editor to do this. The one on Windows might work. You can only have one active partition. Making the Windows boot partition the active one will make all the others inactive. You will find that you have to do this to install Windows patches too. -- -Gary Mills- -refurb- -Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada- _______________________________________________ openindiana-discuss mailing list [email protected] https://openindiana.org/mailman/listinfo/openindiana-discuss
