Problems with GRUB (RED HAT 9 + WIN XP)

nicho · 11-12-2003, 05:17 PM

Don't seem to get this one right, although i've tried your advice on other threads.

My setup is as follows (using GRUB bootloader):

HDA : Red Hat 9 (Master)
HDB : WIN XP (Slave)

The boot partition on HDA : hda1(hd0,0)
The boot partition on HDA : hdb1(hd0,0)

Red Hat Works fine, but I have problems booting XP.

I suspect my mapping sequence might be wrong.

map (hd0)(hd1)
map (hd1)(hd0)

Please help me with the GRUB config file.
