Thanks a lot ssalman. It's doing something now. I hope it's good. If not, I'll look at it again tomorrow. I had to do a clean hd install not the frugal thing, as that method couldn't recognize my hd.
Oh, oh. Now it ask me if I want to install a bootloader im afraid that'l crash my master boot record, when it's not the lilo/frugal/grub whatever thingy.
I think I'll be back tomorrow. But thanks, I'm getting one step closer in every attempt.

if you have a windows rescue disk you can always fix your MBR (master boot record), but you do need to have a boot loader to dual boot.

unless you enjoy booting it though DOS...
