need help to configure my grub.conf file
im runing RedHat 9.0...
...and i have a P4-celeron, geForce2MX400 64Ram, 256MB DDRAM,... a 20GB Maxtore 7,200 RPMs and a 8,4GB Quantum Fireball 5,400 RPMs
the Maxtor is Master (C:\ + D:\)and on C:\ it has winXP instaled
the Quantum is on Slave an has RH9.0 instaled

my grub.conf file looks like this...
##########################grb.conf##################################
<linux.k-security.de> anu:[~]$ cat /boot/grub/grub.conf
# 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 (hd0,0)

# initrd /initrd-version.img
#boot=/dev/hda

initrd /initrd-2.4.20-8.img
title Windows
rootnoverify (hd1,0)

####################################################################
with this grub.conf when i select Windows i only get
rootnoverify (hd1,0)
chainloader +1
or soemthing like that and it stays like that...

from fdisk -l i get...

im booting into linux from bios... changing the hdd from where to boot... but it would be nice if i can use a boot manager for that :>

add these lines


makeactive
boot

<linux.k-security.de> anu:[~]$ fdisk -l
Disk /dev/hda: 20.5 GB, 20547841536 bytes
/dev/hda1 * 1 510 4096543+ b Win95 FAT32

If that's the case, it should be:

title Windows
rootnoverify (hd0,0)
chainloader +1

(I THINK)

I concur with je_fro
Grub is zero aligned - i.e. you count from zero, not one.
In addition to that suggestion, you will of course, have to also update your RH section to point to hd1.
HTH

that's correct
