Ah, that must have been it. My system was happily dual-booting with BeOS and win98, and it was when I upgraded to XP that the bootloader ceased to work correctly.

I think winXP has to have the bootloader on a windows drive, it kept fussing about not being able to find several system files. -Ben > It does the same trick here, except I installed WinXP first, left > some > space for BeOS and then installed BeOS (later removed BeOS-partition > and > installed Zeta in the same space).
