Boot flag seems to be moved by arch

Hi everyone,

It seems that everytime i run arch, the boot flag is moved from my main partition to the arch partition.
Even if i'm under arc 99% of my time, i'm using a bootloader from another partion, leading to arch's grub (installation on arch partition).

How to prevent the system from moving my boot flag?

Thx for help.

grub doesn't care about boot-flag - windows does.

Actually grub chainloading moved my flag, but problem is solved. I removed the "makeactive" option from xp's grub entry.

Just FYI some motherboards (intel D945GCLF is one example) won't boot unless if a partition has the boot flag set.
