Well, as many others, I have problems booting winxp from grub, but it works fine if I change the boot order in bios.
My Hardware:
Code:
A7N8X-Deluxe rev2, xp2500, 1gb ram, dvd-rom, dvd+-rw, ide hd 80gb, sata 36gb, sata 120gb and 9800pro
Fdisk -l :

and my grub.conf :
Code:
default=0
timeout=10
splashimage=(hd0,0)/boot/grub/splash.xpm.gz
title Fedora Core
root (hd0,0)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.6-1.435.2.3 ro root=LABEL=/ rhgb quiet
initrd /boot/initrd-2.6.6-1.435.2.3.img
title xp
rootnoverify (hd1,0)
chainloader +1
So when I select xp in grub, I only get,
Code:
xp
rootnoverify (hd1,0)
chainloader +1
and it hangs.
I tried the tips on fedorafaq, but it didn't work. So what to do? Install Lilo, or is there something I could do?
If anymore info is needed, please let me know.
