This killed W7 and access to my XP install, so I decided to wipe both and start again, especially as W7 was BSODing after exactly 31 minutes!?* Also stuck another 1GB of ram on board Learnt a few things along the way, if you use gparted to copy a partition, it retains the UUID of the original - so you can end up with two partitions with the same UUID? - Tricky when you want to use the UUID to boot from in grub? Anyway, installed XP first, followed by W7, testing bot sequences along the way, before using PartedMagic Live Cd to reset grub. Checked booting again and everything works. One big problem I believe I have solved was a problem with Audio playback in W7. Loading up a playlist either from local or networked files, in any program - WMP12/VLC/Winamp resulted in playback stopping randomly -v annoying. Tried all sorts but finally had a look in Audio Devices, to see that W7 had chosen my "Line In" as the default. I switched this to speakers and since then no problems :) So now happily triple booting with all three systems and still fairly impressed with W7.

I thought that maybe those days were gone :( Spoke too soon, not long after writing this post, I was greeted with a BSOD (admittedly the first one I had seen) after I tried to access an ext3 partition.
