(yes i typed that over in less than 180 seconds ;-) oh one more question, when i am able to boot into the windows installer, ... can i safely delete the partitions i have now (and thus delete macos and bootx), i mean, does the installation of the bootloader (i think it is quik or miboot) in the installer works ok ? bruno
