OK, several hours later and a few re-installs of W2K (and a trip to the nearest internet cafe to get FREEDOS...) I'm still no nearer.
Trying grub> root (hd1,0) (i.e. hdb1) setup (hd0,1) (i.e. hda2 - my 3 GIG W2K active partition)
I'm not 100% but i believe windows installs its bootloader into the mbr if it is not installed on the first partition ie hda1, I always avoid the problem by installing on the first partition, I'd recommend this if possible as I know windows doesn't like not being first on the disk If this is not possible grub can do some magic to fix it but I'm in a bit of a hurry and can't go into detail atm. I'll try and sort out the workaround solution soon if no-one else has fixed the problem first Keep trying I'm sure this is possible with grub and grub is great once setup correctly
