    Hi

    I tryed that and replaced the numbers for partitions
    in grub and&or the boot.ini . Something like "try and
    error". No damn way - i get the error "error 12: invalid
    device requested. It dont show me a bootup screen or anything
    that looks like a booting windows ...

    Device Manager Error Codes List - reports me this ...

    This device cannot find enough free resources that it can use.
    If you want to use this device, you will need to disable one
    of the other devices on this system. (Code 12).

    Recommended Resolution:

    Two devices have been assigned the same input/output (I/O) ports,
    the same interrupt, or the same Direct Memory Access channel (either
    by the BIOS, the operating system, or a combination of the two).
    This error message can also appear if the BIOS did not allocate enough
    resources to the device (for example, if a universal serial bus (USB)
    controller does not get an interrupt from the BIOS because of a corrupt Multiprocessor System (MPS) table). You can use Device Manager to determine
    where the conflict is and disable the conflicting device. On the General Properties tab of the device, click Troubleshoot to start the troubleshooting wizard.

    ----- Some words from me here ---

    Anyway - its a pain in my eyes but i guess that windows
    is not able to boot from extended partitions. Imho i have
    no other chance then install damn xp on a primary partition.

    My last chance before i give up is that i can hide hde1-3
    from the system and get it so configured that windows think
    it run on the first partition.

    THANKS FOR ALL FOR YOUR HELP!
