thank's for the links, but with those solution LinuxMint5 work but without the network and Windows don't work anymore, but i need Windows for some games.

Intrepid alpha6 work but not 100%, i hope the final Intrepid and after Mint6 will work again. So for the moment i use Mint only on my Laptop, and on a VirtualBox from windows.

Hey,

How did you get Windows and Linux to boot on the same board?

I have vista installed now and want to put Mint on another hard drive...

Thanks in advance,

you only have only to enable the AHCI in the Bios from the board, and than install Vista, with the SATA driver from the mainboard-Driver-CD.

After you can install Elyssa without problem, you only need to install the linux network drivers to access the internet.

but i only access Vista for games (it is so bad to pay 100euro for a system, i use only for games)
