The bootloader wasn't successfully installed at the last attempt. Either that, or XP 'repaired' it.

I have installed three separate Linux Distro's and neither time has my XP-SP2-Home edition "repaired" the boot loader.
As long as linux is installed *after* XP, there should be no problems. It's when XP is re-installed or installed *after* Linux that it clobbers the MBR sector.
The XP itself will not repair, but Norton Antivirus might, if configured to check boot sector and action is set to automatically restore it. I don't know about other antivirus software, but they probably have the same functionality. -- Regards, Rajko. http://en.opensuse.org/Portal -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
