> I think you wiped out the partition that had the boot files. Windows Vista and 7 use different partition alignment than XP. XP doesn't know how to handle this. I think this is where things went wrong for you.


Yeah, obviously. The problem in my mind is that one precedes the other. That totally invalidates the 'multi-boot' environment. At the very least, there should be a simple fix: re-instate the appropriate boot files relative to the existing OS. But I'm betting this is another 'that's Windows for ya' Linux/Apple commentary. To which I agree.


>>Later: so, like I said, I had to wipe both partitions and re-install.


Scifi frauds. SF illuminates.
