Any ideas? You may want to try refreshing the Master Boot Record using FDISK (FDISK should make a copy for you) and set the DOS partition active. If DR-DOS boots fine then, it is some problem with GRUB. Later you would have to re-install and configure GRUB, of course. But error messages and CHKDSK report would indicate whether the action described above makes sense. Michal
