hello Pascal
the thing with winxp is that it has a hard time sharing the MBR. A couple of
ways to do this. make sure that when you set up your partitions be sure
and give your xp partision a mount point /Winxp. When asked where to
istall your boot loader you have a couple of options, your mbr or you /boot
partition. you will of had to set one up. I ran into a similar problem
only it wouldnt let me boot to redhat. finally loaded xp on first then
redhat 8.0, made sure and mounted my xp parttition, loaded grub onto the mbr
and also looked to see that i had winxp as an option, and it worked.
the other thinng to think about is if you plan on sharing fles with *nix and
a ntfs file system, you might have to check your distro and make sure that
it has support for it. i finally istalled winxp pro on a fat32 file system
that might have been the difference.
good luck
Sean

Hello,
I am quite new using Linux and I had Mandrake 8.1 installed on my
desktop and on my Laptop as well. After an inevitable hard drive funeral
on my Laptop I tried to reinstall Mandrake 8.1. I should mention that in
the meantime, (when all was running well on the Laptop) I upgraded to XP
Professional from the Home Edition. Anyway, when I reinstalled Mandrake
it will not let me reboot on XP at all telling me that there is an NTFS
issues on the MBR. Does anyone know what the issue is? Let say I have XP
installed and running well, what could be the problem when I install my
copy of Mandrake that won't let me dual boot like it use to when I had
XP home edition on FAT files format. I just reformatted my hard drive
and installed XP professional back on but I am afraid to try to install
Linux again because it may not let me boot on XP...and then I have to
start all over again. I have done this twice in the past 2 days and I am
quite frustrated with it. Maybe I should just go to an other version of
Mandrake or Suse or RedHat. Basically...I need help...
I am out running for a coupe of hours and I will be back hoping for some
wizards counseling...Later!
