Chainloader Error

tonycampos · 02-20-2006, 10:27 PM

Hi:

I have Suse 10.0 as my master HD and Windows XP as my slave. I had installed one by one and I was able to boot changing the settings in the Bios. Following instruccions from the forum I reinstalled Suse and finally I got the screen with the booting options. Now, my problem is that I can boot linux without a problem, but when I try to boot windows I get this message "chainloader (hd1,0)+1" I can't do anything afterwards but to reset the computer. Any advice to solve this problem?

Thanks

TC

Windows will only boot from the first BIOS drive, so you need to use the grub map command as is described in the Grub Manual to fool windows: http://www.gnu.org/software/grub/man...OS_002fWindows

I tried the command grub> map(hd0)(hd1) and hit enter. I got a message saying that the command is not valid or I have and error. I did this in terminal. am I right? I still have the same problem, I can't boot windows

Any advice on this?

No, you need to add the map commands to /boot/grub/grub.conf.

Look at the example in the Grub Manual.

the mistake common to most is no gap in the map commands.....see my tut if you wish
