Um, if you do this, you will more than likely destroy the filesystems as |
| 16 |
well, because the new partitions will not line up exactly with the old ones. |

Anyway I don't think this is the problem. Afterall, WinXP booted fine |
| 19 |
before on this drive with LBA disabled, so something else is up. If you |
| 20 |
already made the right changes to the boot.ini file, then I suspect that |
| 21 |
a "fixboot" from the recovery mode of the WinXP CD will be necessary. |

This should not overwrite the MBR, only the boot loader that is at the |
| 23 |
beginning of the windows partition. |
