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. Colin Watson wrote: > I am absolutely certain that the installer does not change Windows' > boot.ini.
