Installing Windows

[Rajat]

Hi Travis,

No, the cd is in good condition and the system also realises that its a
bootable disc. Just that it freezes once I opt to boot from it.

Also, you are right its right now dual boot machine - as in the grub shows
entry to two operating system - one of them being beautiful the other not so
:)

Do you reckon I need to do something with the mbr or something (i am just
guessing)

Thanks
Rajat
