Well, I have stepped in it this time and boy could I use some help. Setup an XP/7 dual boot on two partitions on same drive. All good. Removed XP boot entry with easybcd. All good. Set 7 partition to Active. All good. Booting to 7 worked fine with the old XP partition still on the disk...

Anybody tried this yet? I've just loaded it up, early days yet but using it atm to browse and post here using Firefox. My favourite distro, previously, had been Suse 10.2 but I think I may be a convert to this one. A single CD ISO download, took me 45 minutes to download. Has everything you...
