I suspect that a problem with booting in windows due to a root kit or messed up boot selector would cause the disk to default to partition 0, so microsoft put the reloader there so the system could be restored in the event of a catastrophic failure. All is well again in Les Land now. Thanks, Doron, your help is greatly appreciated.
