Just FYI a dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/hda bs=512 count=1 seemed to have done the trick. Did that and the 'file not found' errors from grub when I was doing the 'setup (hd0)' step went away. Still have to reboot and see if it's actually booting, but I have high hopes :) -- Alan <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> - http://arcterex.net -------------------------------------------------------------------- "There are only 3 real sports: bull-fighting, car racing and mountain climbing.
