Well,
    My intention was not to solve the MS Win problem specifically. I have
encountered the same many times. U can see my posting "Big LINUX
Installation successful, windows also now work fine" which I post recently.
By the way myself Vikas Panchal doing MCA form MDU Rohtak (Haryana).
I'm have Celeron 333, 4.3 GB, 64 MB ( 9 months old )
running on Win95 platform but NOW ON LINUX...
Fine!
What's about U'r self. I hope we'll continue sharing Knowledge...
