In synaptic I did a mark for complete removal of grub2 which also marks grub-pc and applied it. Then I installed grub using synaptic which installs grub-legacy. I am attaching my menu.lst. The Windows NT/2000/XP no longer shows up as an option when I boot. Only the kernels in the Debian automagic kernels list show up. Brent
