Just out of interest what machine make/model is this on? . I've seen there are 
problems with setting up dual booting on some Dell machines. It's something 
to do with these machines having some sort of sytem reinstall stuff at the 
beginning of the drive in case you put your windows system out to lunch.

If you try to install Linux on these machines, Dell's fantastic reinstall 
system stuff at the beginning of the drive prevents Grub being installed in 
the MBR.
