@hughetorrance
thanks for your reply,
i tried to play alot, but this makes me go nuts i might go for re-install but just incase if i end up failing again then virtual box all the way.
Examine very carefully the Grub documentation on properly booting Windows.
Also: personally, I use virtual machines to run all guest operating systems. The native OS, untouched, runs the host, while all guests of any type run in VMs. Intel hardware provides native support for running virtual machines. Very reliable VM software exists for every type of host-OS.
