Colin,

I accept your assurance.  I did seem strange to me that the installer 
should change Windows in any way whatsoever.

However, after the first two installation attempts, grub chained to the 
Windows boot loader which then failed to boot from the correct partition 
whereas after the third attempt there was no problem.  It did occur to 
me that the boot.ini I saw could have been changed by either Windows or 
my rescue CD but, if one them did change it, they did do so after 
something had already been screwed attempting to install Linux.

I hope you don't feel your time has been wasted.
