As you installed GRUB into the MBR, that makes sense. > I used fdisk to make /dev/sda2 also bootable "Also"? :-? AFAIK, there can only be one partition marked with the bootable flag -one partition per hard disk- so did you removed the bootable flag from "/dev/ sda6" and put it on "/dev/sda2"? As root, run "fdisk -l" so we can see what's your current disk layout. > (the main Windows partition) and grub (and everything else) came up > fine.

I think the installer did the right thing, maybe your BIOS just had some sort of problem/incompatibility for booting from the linux extended partition. Hum, just out of curisosity... fave you tried to boot windows from GRUB? Greetings, -- Camaleón -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
