 |
|
after I have updated my system to Gentoo 2006.1, grub was updated to 0.97 version,
and I don't change the old grub.conf, but while I trying to switch my system to Windows,
the Grub failed to boot Windows and return the Grub main menu.

Leave it out altogether - although I'd be surprised if his caused a problem with a version change in grub.

Sorry, it is little mistake, but the real config file on my machine is corrected,
but the Error alway exist. |

It almost sounds like you (re-)installed grub manually, and installed to the XP partition by mistake rather than to the MBR.

Thanks every one!
I have fixed this problem by Windows booting CD, and run command "fixmbr" and "fixboot",
and then switch Linux by Gentoo livedCD, reinstall grub.
but now I still don't know what cause this issue. |
