Continuing dual-boot woes

[John G. Heim]

All,

I still cannot get FAI to create a dual boot system. When I last talked 
about this, I thought I had figured it out. My theory (at the time) was that 
because Win 7 creates a very small partition at the beginning of the disk, 
when I did an unattended install that did not create that partition and then 
did an FAI install, it confused Win7. But that apparently is not the 
problem.

My co-worker created a dual boot win7/debian system by hand installing both. 
I modified my unattended install to more-or-less replicate his system. Below 
is the output from disk from his system. Below that is the output from fdisk 
from my system. Win7 boots on his system. Not only does Win7 not boot on my 
system, I can't even repair it.  Previously, I used to be able to boot into 
Win7 but only after using the Win7 installation CD to repair it.

Here is the disk_config file I'm using:
=== disk_config ===
disk_config disk1 preserve_always:1,2 bootable:1
primary  -          0-  ntfs  -
primary  /windows          0-  ntfs  rw
logical swap  1500M   swap  rw
logical /     30G-     ext3  rw         createopts="-m 5" tuneopts="-c 0 -i 
0"

=== end disk_config ===
