Thought I delay posting this so that you can get the other things out of 
the way first.

Generally, there is *no need* to do mapping on a single disk and will 
boot well without it. But, it is *possible* to do mapping with it.
Try it out for a chainloaded OS. (I don't have Wins anymore). It should 
boot okay. The advantages for doing this on a single hard disk, and I am 
not quite sure about it, is that it's like "--force" to ensure 
'compliance', which in Dave's case might warrant.

Yes, positively there is no (hd0,0), that's why I pointed this out.

er...my thinking's not so, but give it a go as I have nothing better
Have to make sure he can boot to ubuntu after that (sda9).

[Other than saving wins data and reinstalling wins, and he would have 
completed by now if he had started on it.]
