Ok, I wasn't sure what your policy on double-posting was

I think part of the problem was the partition numbering was off in Windows; I used Ubuntu to change my boot.ini file from partition 3 to partition 2. Now, I get the splash screen with the scroll bar for a second, then a blue screen with "UNMOUNTABLE_BOOT_VOLUME".

I'll probably do it all again anyway because I realized that I had my partition size backwards.

I have a question for you, though, and I think this is where I'm screwing up. Exactly when should I restore the mbr with Should I do it while it's gathering more applications, or when I'm sitting at the GRUB install part, or just right after the base files? I think if I have an exact time to execute that 2nd command it'll work.

Thanks!
