grub: windows on logical partition
hi,
how do I boot into windows with grub? my windows is installed on hda7, which is a part of hda4 (logical partition) i (re-) installed windows after linux (i know...), and fixed the mbr already, but the new windows is not accessable thx! |
Hello, festhead.
I won't claim to be an expert on this, because I normally install windows in hda1, as recommended. That said, however, you can remap partitions in GRUB (read 'info grub') to make windows think it is running on the first partition. Regards, Bill |

My Windows entry in "/boot/grub/menu.lst" looks like this: If you change (hd0,0) to (hd0,7), you will be able to boot Windows. You might have to toggle the "bootable" flag using fdisk. |
Ain't gunna work.
Even though you installed Windoze to a logical partition, the actual loader code (ntldr, boot.ini) has to be in a primary partition. That's what you need to chainload to. |

You need to change the "partition(X)" to "partition(7)". I have never heard of this "primary" partition restriction. |
