The problem was two-fold: 1. WinXP boot sector was bad(my best guess). 2. Recovery Console suffered from obscure bug that prevented the use of admin password -- even though the correct password was used. To top it off, Macro$haft expects its drones to _pay_ for the patch to fix _their_own_ mistake! I just re-installed XP-Pro, this time the one w/ the integrated SP1 which fixes the bug. Then I edited grub to map the drive up a notch and now everything is cool! -mw __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
