Try this: If partition hda6 is where your boot records for Linux are, do this: dd if=/dev/hda6 of=/bootsect.lnx bs=512 count=1 copy this file over to your C drive or over to the drive that boots up Windows with the boot.ini file. In boot.ini add this line: C:\BOOTSECT.LNX="Linux Mandrake 8.1" This should do it for you. J. Craig Woods UNIX/NT SA -Art is the illusion of spontaneity-
