Dual system boot err: rootnoverify(hd1,0),but the hd0 err msg existed befor shut down
When I booted the windows, the system said:
Booting 'Windows XP'
rootnoverify(hd1,0)
chainloader +1
I searched by google and found some articles about this kind of dual systems booting problems. But their methods are not fit for my case.
In my case, the hard disk err has occured before the dual booting problem.
my /etc/grub.conf is:
# grub.conf generated by anaconda
#
# Note that you do not have to rerun grub after making changes to this file
# NOTICE: You have a /boot partition. This means that
# all kernel and initrd paths are relative to /boot/, eg.
# root (hd0,5)
# kernel /vmlinuz-version ro root=/dev/hda7
# initrd /initrd-version.img
#boot=/dev/hda

My /boot/grub/menu.lst shows the same.

I have tried to change to
title Windows XP Professional
rootnoverify (hd0,1)
chainloader +1
But the system said
Booting 'Windows XP'
rootnoverify(hd1,0)
chainloader +1
In the googled pages, they change to
title Windows XP
rootnoverify (hd1,0)
map (hd1) (hd0)
map (hd0) (hd1)
chainloader +1
But they have 2 hard disks.I have only one and so needn't map them.
When I tried to use the windows install CD to repair it, I booted from CD, but the
windows installation program couldn't recognize the hard disk. The screen turned black and had no response any more although the CPU was still running.
My computer is not old, bought for only one year. When I got it, it was all in latest hardwares: P4 3.x and so on. It always run well. I never shut down it.
I am not sure if my windows files have corrupted or not. I wish to rescue the windows,since there are many good files in that system.
PS: I advise not to use Flashget any more. It has ads pop out every hour. And the most important, it is not seriously developed, unsafe.
Thank you for your care. But I formated the hardisk at last. One of my friends suspected that maybe my harddisk has broken. But after the format, I was able to install a new windows.
