Well, I solved my problem. It was a little thing that's been around for years, I just never ran into it: the whole 'within 1024 cylinder' thing. Up until this situation, I've always had my hard drive on auto, so for linux installs, it's always seen my drive setup as LBA, so I never had a problem. Windows problems forced me to take it off of Auto and put it on Large. That's what did it.

Anyway, I made a 200 MB hda1 for my /boot, hda2 and 3 were new Windows installs and I did some logical drives for my root partition and swap. Everything's working fine now.

Thanks for your help.

Dominic
