Well, Thank you for your answer Mick, but after numerous test also many times I've tried, could't make this happen, because quick media is without the HD (or at least I think) because I don't need to get to windows, is a OS very light to use, email, navigation, skype and some others things. Also, I have to delete RECOVERY partition, because it did not work (I tried with extended partition, same results) Now, I'm running Gentoo + Windows 7 (Dual Boot) a little problems, but for now, I can work in both systems very well.
