Problem dual-booting into windows xp with Grub
I just installed SimplyMepis today. I have the linux partitions in an extended partition in the beginning of the drive, and a windows partition at the end of the drive. I installed it and it put a grub entry for windows (the windows partition is /dev/hda2), but when I select it and hit enter, the grub screen just reloads in a text based mode... and no matter how many times I select that, it still just reloads the text based grub menu. I don't know where the grub configuration is, so I can't post that here. Could someone please tell me where that config file is, and how to make windows boot again?

The grub config is located in /boot/grub/menu.lst the standard entry for Windows XP is for hda1, and to be honest I don't know how to set it for hda2...

title Windows at hda2
rootnoverify (hd0,-2) chainloader +1 is the grub section for windows can anyone tell me if this is right? If not, how can I install Lilo on mepis (debian)? |
try removing the - from in front of the 2
yours should read root (hd0,1) savedefault makeactive chainloader +1 if its on second partition, did you edit that or did that happen when you installed. |
