I think this is not what the original writer had in mind. He'd like to _keep_ his Linux install. What if he disconnected the drive(s) with Linux on them, and then installed Windows on a clean drive. Supposesdly, you can multiboot from a Windows installation, but I don't know how. Then instead of Grub, you'd use the Windows multibooter to access Linux. --doug -- Blessed are the peacemakers ... for they shall be shot at from both sides. --A.M.
