While rummaging around for a copy of "clonezilla," which I found, I found an old OEM Windows XP Home SP1 CD which I installed in virtualbox with more than a little angst! My concern being where did it install Windows? Hopefully in a vacant space! I will find out when I reboot in a few minutes but Windows looks like its working there. That's still not what I wanted, I would prefer to use the Windows already on one of my hard drives and dual boot via grub. I will try the procedure you describe, if I can't manage that then the problem will be resolved with an eventual new install of F-15. Thank you.
