I'm sure you've heard this too many times to count...  I have a brand
new  HP Slimline Pavilion pc from Best Buy.  It has Windows Media Center
Ed on it.  I decided to install Edubuntu because my children love
playing all of the learning games.
 
One big hard drive nothing special, should be simple right??
 
Windows is the first partition on the only hard drive.  Pop in Edubunut
6.06 LTS and go....  Edubunut installed smoothly, did all the updates,
upgrades, etc..  everything was fine.  But, reboot, no windows...
uhoh....
 
puter says:
chainloader (hd0,0) +1
 
Then a blinking "underscore" cursor and nothing happens.
 
I can boot to linux fine.  I can even mount and view the windows
partition fine.  I can boot from a winxp pro install cd and browse the
C: drive from a prompt fine.
 
I tried fixboot, nothing, fixmbr, nothing.  I even removed Edubuntu
completely, repartitioned the hard drive using GParted and installed
Suse 10.0 thinking maybe just maybe...  Suse boots, windows:
chainloader (hd0,0) +1
 
All the windows files are there and I've checked boot.ini like a
thousand times...
 
 
Please help!
