I used to just use 'dangerously dedicated' mode to blow everything away and take over the entire HD. No boot mgr needed. I thought the DFly install would do something similar, but I can't tell how to. Or, if not, how to get things working the way they should with a boot mgr. I tried: fdisk -I boot0cfg Not sure what's next. Jonathon McKitrick -- My other computer is your Windows box.
