What are you talking about?

I'm running multi-boot with various operating systems -- including Ubuntu
*AND* Windows XP.  There's been no issue (other than an embarrassing one
when I changed some partitions around and forgot to tell GRUB -- but that's
another story for a heavy drinking day).  The part with your "processor
won't even recognise the Windows program" because of something the "Debian
format" did is purest gibberish.  It scans well.  It is well-formed in terms
of syntax.  But its semantics are completely incoherent.  Can you try
rewording it?
