Ok, so I got mbldr going, rebooted, and everything worked great.
I went into Disk Management, from Computer Management on XP, formatted the Linux Partition to NTFS (a shame, but I was happy it worked), gave it a drive letter and migrated a bunch of files over there. Everything was working great.
Until I rebooted and the drive went away. Ok, Don't Panic, but WHERE IS MY DRIVE?
I went into Disk Management again, went to give the partition a drive letter -- and couldn't.
Don't Panic. Don't Panic.......
After some research and a couple of really uneasy days wondering if my backups REALLY had all of my files.....
I realized that when I ran mbldr, I had checked (or it had defaulted -- not really sure) a checkbox that said "Hide all other Primary Partitions." Well, that should be easy enough to fix, right?
Wrong.
.....Disk Management won't "Unhide" a Partition. Seriously, Windows is pathetic.
Anyways, after some research, I got ahold of EASEUS (I tried the free version), and "unhid" the Partition.
Amazingly enough, it mapped to the drive I wanted again, and we're back in business.
Sweet. Problem solved......for today.
