GRUB may be able to boot both operating systems from the hard drive... Then again, maybe not. I can't hurt to try. It might be safe to keep an XP boot disk around, just in case you render it unbootable. And if it turns out that you really can't dual boot from the HD, you can delete GRUB from within XP by using 'fdisk/mbr' in a command prompt. noah -- _______________________________________________________ | Web: http://web.morgul.net/~frodo/ | PGP Public Key: http://web.morgul.net/~frodo/mail.html
