 |
|
HI there,
i'm using grub.cfg and have windows xp on my primary partition with ntfs (dev/sda1) while my gentoo and all other stuff is on the extended partition. I modified my grub.cfg (see below)
but when hitting during booting the windows xp thing, the system simply reboots. How does the entry for the windows xp system have to look like in order to boot properly?
Do you need som more information?
Thanks a lot!
| Code: |
menuentry "Windows XP " {
insmod part_msdos
insmod ntldr
insmod ntfs
ntldr (hd0,msdos1)/ntldr
}
# THIS ENTRY DOES NOT WORK AS WELL -> IT COMES UP WITH ERRORS ON VALUES!
menuentry "Windows test" {
insmod part_msdos
insmod chain
drivemap hd0 hd1
chainloader (hd1,msdos2)+1
}

Hi,
thanks, but i installed and ran the grub-make-config thing to automatically detect the system. However, it only detected
| Code: |
Generating grub configuration file ...
Linux-Abbild gefunden: /boot/kernel-3.18.7-gentoo
Linux-Abbild gefunden: /boot/vmlinuz-3.12.21-gentoo-r1
|
an no windows.
Also in the grub.cfg there is no menu-entry windows...
thanks for further help (i never used os-prober) |

Hello.
Anyway, /dev/sda1 is (hd0,msdos1).
"chainloader (hd1,msdos2)+1" is invalid in this case.
For example, try
| Code: |
menuentry "Windows XP (loader) (on /dev/sda1)" --class windows --class os {
insmod part_msdos
insmod ntfs
set root='(hd0,msdos1)'
chainloader +1
}
