I installed 8.2 from the DVD ISO. This install overwrote the MBR even though I selected not to write a boot record. Using the repair disk and/or bootrec does not work. The answer is found in http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/105541-startup-repair-run-3-separate-times.html. Basically you use diskpart to make sure that only the windows partition is marked active and then run the Startup Repair process 3 times. This is the only option that worked for me. _____ Douglas Denault http://www.safeport.com doug@safeport.com Voice: 301-217-9220 Fax: 301-217-9277
