Information data for the devs (im still rebuilding so ill try bugtracker later). There was a series of threads on the test list regarding issues with dual booting. I didnt have that problem but I did have a strange error among other things. System Intel P4 2.2 GHZ 1GB Ram Maxtor 60GB IDE (6E040L0) Maxtor 40GB IDE (6Y060L0) Intel 82801BA Ultra ATA Controller ASUS P4B ACPI Bios Rev 1010 During the install I got the following warning, i could have cancelled but figured what-the-heck if I cant take a joke... "Unable to align partition properly. This probably means that another partitioning tool generated an incorrect partition table because it didnt have the correct BIOS geometry. It is safe to ignor, but ignoring may cause (fixable) problems with some boot loaders." So I crossed my fingers (ok i also had backups) and hit ignore. The rest of the install went fine. After rebooting though GRUB identifies the parition that XP is on as OTHER. I used to think this was identified as NTFS or something akin to it. Anyhow maybe this will help point the cause.
