[MANDRAKE 10.0 Community] Dual boot failure

I now twice installed Windows and Mandrake (in that order), and after installing mandrake i am unable to boot into my windows partition. It is definitely a mandrake 10 issue, because it works with mdk 9.2 and below. Is this a known problem, or just me - and how do i fix it??

I have yet to try this, but was considering it. I think I'll hold off for now. Hopefully, someone here has experienced it and come up with a solution/answer. Sorry I don't have it.

I'm sure, however, that this is an oversight in Mandrake 10 community and I would be surprised if it isn't already fixed in the official full release of Mandrake 10.

I gave up, and moved on to Mandrake 10 official - works fine

That's not surprising. That's the purpose of having betas or "pre-releases", which is what the community edtion was, essentially.

I have now set up a dual boot using Mandrake 10 Official with Windows XP. It worked perfectly and without incident.

I am, however, having a bit of trouble with sound and video. But those are topics for other threads.
