Windows XP will not boot properly on hdb
 
Well I've been running linux for the past year and half, so I gave little care to my WIndows XP partitian. I bought a new hard drive a good while ago, and have linux primarily on hda. windows is the only OS on hdb, but no matter what I try it refuses to boot. The grub entry I have for it is:
Quote:

title Windows XP
unhide (hd1,0)
map (hd0) (hd1)
map (hd1) (hd0)
hide (hd0,0)
hide (hd0,1)
hide (hd0,2)
hide (hd0,3)
rootnoverify (hd1,0)
chainloader +1
makeactive
boot
which results in

when I try to boot into it.

The reason for the wanted boot is to put a pdf file onto my palm pilot, so if there's a linux solution to converting a pdf file to acrobat for palm format and putting it on a zire 31 on linux, that'd work just as fine.

Thanks in advance

I still get the same blue screen.

Hm, a blue screen? Can this even be Grub's fault? Maybe your windoze is busted. Try booting Windows with an original Windows mbr.

I agree with the dragon ... make ur windows hard-disk as master [hda] and try... getting into windows..

It's been fixed, didn't have to use windows MBR, just had to edit boot.ini

Glad to hear it. Also glad to hear that it was Windows's fault, not Grub's :p
