hey buddy
i faced the sameproblem once. what u gotto to do on large hdd is
to create a /boot partition (before creating / partition) of about 16M.
it worked on 5 of my friends' pcs having 17 gb hdd .if this too doesn't
work u'll have to delete on of ur win parttions to move
the /boot partiion to the starting of the hdd. ( hope u won''t have to do
this).
