You still don't get it. I'll try once more: No problems with XP.
Then run Linux LiveCD. Then exit LiveCD improperly, by shutting off
power. Then on reboot, without LInuxCD, XP will not load. So I had
to use Bart PE (built supposedly on Linux LiveCD, from what I recall)
to do 'chkdsk' and fix the XP NT HD. Get it now?
