nope, the problem is that before that: when I try to install windows, it
copies its files to C:, then reboots, and at this point it does not find
the C: disk anymore ("invalid I/O device..."), so it cannot complete
installation.
My understanding is that win overwrites the linux MBR (and that is ok)
with its own MBR which is not able to see the C: - i.e. hda3 - partition
(and this is not ok)
any idea?
thanks,
