Re: sarge install: dual-boot problem



I've run into similar problems before. I don't recall how I finally
bailed myself out, but:

That partition tables looks a bit sketchy -- you'll notice that you have
some overlapping paritions and that you have more than 4 primary
partitions. I don't think windows is going to behave in a sane manner
under those (out-of-spec) circumstances.

I'd (carefully) try to fix up your partition table and write it to disk,
then try to run "fixboot" and "fixmbr" from the XP recovery CD.

You might dig through installation bug reports w/ my name attached to
see if I put additional info into it.
