Thanks.

Just DOS And Win ME, but I want SC7 as I understand how to use its partition resizing utilities after Os's are installed, and I just don't want to mess up what's already there. Also, I can hide disk partitions from Win ME so it doesn't mess them up. I don't know how to do that with Linux. (And what the heck, most important, I PAID for it!!) ;-) So, I didn't get an answer to my question. If I want grub in a non-MBR setup, would I use grub> root (hd0,4) // My boot partition - /dev/hda5 grub> setup (hd0,4) // Where I want grub - /dev/hda5 grub> quit Thanks, Mark -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
