In my experience, ntldr doesn't go on the MBR anyway: it goes on the boot sector of the appropriate partition. All that NT needs from the MBR is for it to chain the appropriate boot sector. That's why you can put grub in the MBR and ntldr in the bootsector of C:, and have them both work. > Instead you will need to boot to rescue/repair mode from the 2000/XP > install CD and then run the FIXMBR command to put the ntldr on the boot > sector. That will remove grub from the MBR, replacing it with a simple Microsoft one that will use the ntldr that's already there. See, for example, http://support.microsoft.com/kb/q140418/ or http://support.microsoft.com/kb/q114841/ Fedora, by default, puts grub on the MBR, although it can go elsewhere: http://fedora.redhat.com/docs/fedora-install-guide-en/fc4/ch-bootloader.html Hope this helps, James. -- E-mail address: james | Which do you consider was the stronger swimmer, @westexe.demon.co.uk | (a) The Spanish Armadillo, | (b) The Great Seal? | -- '1066 and All That'
