very, very strange indeed, I've installed Debian (aug. 2000 release), Win9x, WinNT or 2000 and QNX (Neutrino) all on one machine and never had a similar problem. Did you by any chance run some extraordinary installation script or reinstall/upgrade some windows software afterwards ? Are you booting from a separate partition (a real linux boot) or using something like booting DOS/Win and then start loading linux (umsdos or something similar) ?
