fdisk, cfdisk, etc. will all set the bootable flag. The question is why do you need to remove a)grub, b)the /boot partition? Is your Windows recovery partition script expecting Windows to be the first partition on the disk and you have moved it since installation? Perhaps next time you'll use partimage with Gentoo to create a back up image of your Windows partition and so you will be able to restore it within 40 minutes or so, depending on the speed of your machine. -- Regards, Mick
