[plug] Windows XP and Debian

[I am the LinuxAlien]

I have tried all methods, GRUB, LILO, copying the boot sector to a file and 
try the Windows boot loader. Still no luck. One thing that I forgot to 
mention before was that the XP partition is NTFS, maybe this is the cause, 
is so i will reinstall using a fat boot partition.
Any more advice is welcome
Thanks
Tim
