I have now tried all of the suggestions that I have received. None have
enabled me to boot windows. Below are my partition tables (from parted)
and my menu.lst boot list. The 'Windows XP' entry was added by me, NOT
generated at install time.
Any further suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
John
