Thanks for the reply, Dan, however, that's just it. It never reboots into winxp -- even when choosing it to do so. If I click on the drop-down menu to resart in winxp, the darn thing goes to the grub screen and times out to the default boot which is M2006. And this is the crux of my issue. Why will it *not* do what I ask? Phil ____________________________________________________ Want to buy your Pack or Services from Mandriva?
