Yes, reading your message again I understand now that you meant that the "boot" flag had changed from hda1 (Windows) to hda2 (Linux) and not that the partition type of the first partition changed as I thought first. That really would have been serious! Changing the boot flag does not affect booting Windows for me either. Grub boots perfectly wherever the flag is set and both my own Windows XP and Debian boot fine from grub as well. I also see the flag being changed back, though it may well be the chain loading code of grub that does that, and not Windows itself. Not sure though. Thanks for giving this a try though. Cheers, FJP
