I can't reach that right now. But shoudn't then some step
have gone
wrong, like ntfsresize or the partitioning?

I just used the windows rescue console to delete all other
partitions,
used fixboot and fixmbr, and still nothing happens.

Is there an alternative to the windows boot loader?
Something that I can
install that bypasses that piece of software? (I assume the
windows
bootloader is to blame, as the boot.ini by now has several
entries, but
I get no menu. Just a guess, though).

Or are there reported cases of preinstalled Windows reacting
badly on
changes to the hard drive? Maybe TPM or something like that?


Greetings,
Joachim
