Windows always rewrites the mbr so it's not your
fault. I haven't bothered with boot disks since
knoppix et al appeared and that is your way forward.

Just follow James' excellent instructions at

http://mailman.lug.org.uk/pipermail/wolves/2004-April/006740.html

which is my bible in such circumstances.

Just mkdir the appropriate directory to mount your hd
on and then do whichever of the 2 methods supplied, I
always do the second one.

Are you the same Leo that used to come a few years
back?

Merry christmas.
