Thanks Norman. I was unable to umount /boot. It kept givuing a busy
message. Same using the boot disk. I ended up going into fstab and
commenting out the /boot line , rebooted , renamed the orig boot , took out
the comment , rebooted and copied the files over. Now I can boot of the hd
to both win and linux. Thanks a million
