i've had this problem on and off when I try new operating systems. the best answer for me has always been to physically remote any extra drives than the one I am installing the OSs on. And when things go badly, I tend to just re-image and wait for a while until someone else comes up with a solution.

but i'm still stuck on this one and not ready to quit.

i partitioned my OS hard drive C: with two more partitions E: for Win7 and F: for MythTV/Buntu

Also have 3 other hard drives. M: HTPCMusic, N: HTPCMovies O:HTPCstore

After installing Win 7 to partition E:, I got to the normal boot manager menu. But when I'd select either OS, it would go immediately into the CHKDSK routine for Drive M: HTPCMusic. What gives?

From Win 7 I can access all drives and files. From XP, I can not access M: and it is only showing up as M:, not M:HTPCMusic. O: Has also gone weird. I can access it, but its just a big dynamic partition now instead of a primary partition.

Still stuck in the chkdsk loop. will try your suggestions from earlier.
Which OS should I boot to when I run the "dirty" check?

Although your issue may seem similar there can be other factors that may need to be resolved.
By bumping on someone's topic it makes it confusing for the tech to understand who they are helping. This can in turn cause the wrong support to be given and can cause instability or worse to happen to your system. Thank you for your cooperation.
