Hello Family, On a new install I have of XP on my tripleboot laptop (xp,linux.freebsd) the windows partition is the second one. One this new Dell laptop the first 30 mb partition is a utility partition. So I'd try hitting the second partition for windows. On a side note, the new Dell 5150 has it's main harddrive as /dev/hdc, and the cdrom is the master on the first controller at /dev/hda. Go figure. So on my new laptop my factory installed XP partition is /dev/hdc2 -- Bill Schoolcraft PO Box 210076 San Francisco CA 94121 http://billschoolcraft.com

Depending on which partition WinXP is actually _on_ controls the number for the ",0" suffix and you perhaps must experiment with that. HTH.
