Well, Thank you for your answer Mick, but after numerous test also many
times I've tried, could't make this happen, because quick media is without
the HD (or at least I think) because I don't need to get to windows, is a
OS very light to use, email, navigation, skype and some others things.

Also, I have to delete RECOVERY partition, because it did not work (I tried
with extended partition, same results)

Now, I'm running Gentoo +  Windows 7 (Dual Boot) a little problems, but for
now, I can work in both systems very well.

Regards
