dualboot win7 & linux
hi,
I just installed fedora 12 on my laptop. fedora is booting and working fine, but the problem is that now windows isn't booting. when I try to boot windows i get the next message: "BOOTMGR is missing" I looked at /boot/grub/menu.lst, and those are the lines for booting windows: " ... title win7 rootnoverify (hd0,1) chainloader +1 " then i checked with fdisk -l and verified that windows is actually installed on the second partition (sda2). the next thing i tried was to use the repair option at the windows 7 installation DVD. the problem is that when i try to preform a startup repair, the installation DVD doesn't recognize my existing windows 7 installation, and therefore wasn't able to repair it. if it's relevant, here are some more details on my machine: HP probook 4310 windows 7 64-bit fedora 12 32-bit i have one sata HD which I devided into 6 partitions {a system partition of the laptop, windows 7 (NTFS), swap, /boot (ext3), / (ext4), /home (ext4)} i'll be glad if anyone can help me with this problem. Thanks, Dvir |

Why not just run it virtually?

You need to point grub at the ~100mb 'system' partition windows creates with the bootloader on. On mine it's (hd0,2). |
thank you all guys :)
eventually i remembered that when having problems with Fedora live CD I messed around with the BIOS settings. after i restored the default BIOS settings i was able to repair the windows installation using the windows DVD. the only problem is that apperantly all the repairing stuff woke up the windows genuine advantage :( Thaks, Dvir |
