I've been searching around the net trying to get some understanding of what this code is. I seem to get that it is the code used for the beginning of the partition and allows the operating system to start. If it becomes corrupted the operating system may not start. I guess this can be repaired by using the operating system disk and doing a repair operation versus an install and typing some dos language but I didn't get how this helps my situation because the operating system does start. So I would think that the problem is within the Boot-US software and Ulrich knows the fix. At any rate I'll be patient and wait for his action. I sent you the file.

Well a week has gone by and me being fickled have decided to make some major changes. Hopefully this goes well. I'm upgrading to Windows 7. I'm not real clear about 7's 32bit operating system though. I talked to a tech from the Genuine Windows support team and he says the basic Home Premium should be 32bit or 64bit. What's that mean. I'm not clear about it because I have a Windows 7 64bit OS on another machine that they say runs in XP mode but that doesn't work with my needs for use with some older hardware. And Virtual VMware doesn't work either. I need a 32bit OS. Now for gaming I want the 64bit so I can take full advantage of the DirectX 11. I have that capability with my one machine now but it's not as fast as I would like it to be. So I have purchased a Sabretooth X58 board and plan on installing an Intel i7 970 CPU with 6Gb of Mushkin Ram. But I still need to add a 32bit OS on this new build. So I will want to try the dual boot series again. This should all happen with the next couple of weeks because I'm waiting to get my hands on the processor. They are so damn expensive. I allready have the Mushkin RAM, HIS 5850 GPU, Silverstone Styder 850W PSU, WD Velociraptor HDD. So this is not that big a deal to change this stuff around and hopefully end up with a computer that fits my needs.

I really don"t understand what all that meant and I don't need to focus on that computer anymore. The thing died and has been thrown away. I got another MoBo and installed Windows 7 home premium 32bit and that works for what I need it to do. I will focus on the 64Bit OS with this other build I've almost completed. It would have been easier to have both 32bit and 64bit OS on one computer but I'm also juggling with SSD hard drive space vs cost. I have just purchased a OCZ Vertex 3 SSD and to only get about 240GB  for $580 is really making the decision about how to set this up difficult.
