I've been burnt by this before, so I'd like to restate it: As of Windows XP, Windows _needs to be on the first drive_. :) I concur with the method you list above (6c1 through 6c4); that's how I always did it. I guess we found a use for GRUB, though, in the ability to remap drives. :) Maybe I'll have to try it out when I build Gentoo... -Bryan _______________________________________________ vox-tech mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.lugod.org/mailman/listinfo/vox-tech
