If so, boot/partition managers write their own EMBR which overrides Linux or Windows boot sectors. IF you have used a boot/partition manager you need to boot with its boot floppy and manually remove the EMBR. Sorry if this does not apply to you, its just that I had the same problem and that was the fix. Cheers skinky
