Go back to partition(1)

Try changing the rdisk value to rdisk(0) or rdisk(1) or rdisk(2).

Sometimes Windows displays the rdisk values in the wrong order. One way to really tell is to boot to a Windows XP disk and go thru the setup procedure until it gets to the part of formatting the partition. From there that will be the TRUE rdisk value.

Thanks

In DualBootPro configuration i used the driveletter "I" for rdisk(3)

When i try changing the rdisk value to rdisk(0) or rdisk(1) or rdisk(2) need i change the driveletter in DualBootPro configuration too ?
