Only John seemed to have gotten my point. W2k is installed, but everytime it boots it trashes the, I assume, mbr. Setting its partition active so that grub is bypassed and w2k steals the next boot. I have an old fashioned mbr, like mdos3.1 fdisk /mbr. I am assuming that the active partition flags are in the mbr. Thanks. rir
