 |
|
Im dualbooting with windows xp and i cant get it to boot after i installed grub. Here is my setup taken from grub it self
hd0
Partition num: 0, Filesystem type unknown, partition type 0x7 (NTFS c: contaning windows XP)
Partition num: 4, Filesystem type is fat, partition type 0xb (fat32 storage)
hd1 Partition num: 1, Filesystem type unknown, partition type 0x82
Partition num: 2, Filesystem type is ext2fs, partition type 0x83
Partition num: 3, Filesystem type is xfs, partition type 0x83
Partition num: 4, Filesystem type is fat, partition type 0xb
Partition num: 5, Filesystem type is fat, partition type 0xb
My menu.lst
default 0
timeout 30
splashimage=(hd1,2)/boot/grub/splash.xpm.gz
title=Gentoo
root (hd1,2)
kernel /boot/bzImage root=/dev/hdb3
title=Windows
root=(hd0,0)
chainloader +1
when i select windows in the meny the screen goes black for about 0.5 seconds and then kick s me back to the boot menu. I already tried reading the grub manual but didnt find a solution for my problem :/
I would really like get windows working because of the various games i play that dont really work with linux thank you in advance
Best Wishes
Richard

You have root=(hd0,0).
Remove the = and see if it works.

It still just blinks and the screen goes black for 0.5 sec. Then it kicks me back to the main menu :/
Any Ideas?

The GRUB manual suggests:
| Code: | title=Windows
rootnoverify (hd0,0)
makeactive
chainloader +1
