Although I can boot using the GRUB disk (a tool no one should be

leaving me with nothing but a black screen. Suggestions?
you could always install one of the other boot loaders and be done with it
instead of trying to fight MS's boot loader onto the MBR. e.g. just install
lilo using your rescue disc with just one entry (your WinXP install) and the
boot delay set to 0.
simple, guaranteed to work and we could get back to the business of discussing
Linux on this list ;-)
How would I do this? I've never used lilo, so tell me step-by-step what
to do once I have booted into knoppix. I have, too, given up on MS
bootloader, so no concerns there ;)
