I have 2 IDE drives, Windows XP is on the Master drive & Fedora 12 is on a partition the other drive.
I purposely installed the Linux boot loader on the same drive as Fedora because want to use NTLDR as the primary boot loader.
According to a guide I found (
http://www.linux.com/archive/feature/113945), I should be able to copy the Linux boot sector to a file & put that copy on the Windows drive & then modify boot.ini, so I’m prompted to with an OS choice a startup. The problem is the command the guide gives to copy the Linux boot sector (dd if=/dev/hdb1 of=bootsect.lnx size=512 count=1) has outdated syntax and does not work.
What syntax would make this command work in Fedora 12?
Another guide I found (
http://fedorasolved.org/Members/rask...-vista-already) suggested using: Grub4Dos & modifying boot.ini
This method almost worked until grub gave an error that there was no kernel loaded.
What would I type into the grub prompt to load the kernel?
How would I automate the loading of the kernel, so I don’t have to specify the kernel each time?
