Red hat Linux 7.2 and XP Pro
 

I'm having a problem with windows xp pro and Red hat linux, I have both os's on different hard drives, windows xp pro is on the master hard drive and linux on the slave, where the problem comes in, is when I install Red hat, the Boot loader that gets loaded only shows Linux, it doesn't show xp so I was wondering if I was doing something wrong in the install of Linux?

when you installed your boot loader during the install of linux did you give your windows drive a boot name? by defualt it will be blank. name it something like dos or windows. supossedly there is a way to change your boot loader without reinstalling RH but it never worked for me when i had the same problem. it is just as easy to reinstall if you have a fresh install already!

You may try first to boot from the linux OS and then login as root and follow these steps

(I assume that you're using GRUB)

1. Edit the grub.conf file:

pico /etc/grub.con

2. At the end of that file add this entries:

title Windows
rootnoverify (hd0,0)
chainloader +1

Save and exit, this should fix the issue. You may now reboot and choose either Red Hat or Windows.

whe i was having that problem that fixed was given to me a few times but never seamed to work ( technically it should but ) none the less that is the non reinstall way that i was refering to!
