Hi Nick glad you worked it all out to get the dual boot going I wonder if the rescue/OS-SYS CD usually shipped with Dell still works with the HD changed or partition size changed? I bought a dell GX270 small form with XP but I could not find this out so I still have just XP same as you a few things I use that have no Linux equal but I hope to learn how to do the virtual stuff this winter. I think I may risk the CD not working because dual boot would be quite nice. .... anyway thanks interesting.
