Do understand that noone here is oblidged to help you. There is no fool proof method to make sure that the dual boot problem wont hit you however setting the hard disk access method to LBA can help. Since your mail has not been threaded I wouldnt be able to go through the previous mails on this topic and its important that you use reply and not compose a new mail for others to follow up and help you better. If you are having errors paste the specific error along with the steps you did and someone who has experience on this *might* be able to help you regards Rahul Sundaram
