Unfortunately, that's what I have.
I already have OI+Windows on grub, that's no problem.
All my issues started when I installed Linux Mint 15, which failed to 
install its GRUB2 (because of not enough space before the first sector of 
XP) and overwrote OI's grub...

Yes, perhaps I'll stack another bootloader. It's a good idea if it does 
not work straight away.

To be fair, for once, it's not Windows that destroyed things but Linux  ;)

Ok thanks I'll try that.
