Grub boot help
I know this doesn't totally pertain to linux b/ i'm having trouble booting winxp in safe mode. My boot disk and install cd both fail to allow me to enter safe mode, so I was wondering if i could boot into winxp's safe mode through the grub bootloader. If you could help I would be very thankful.

I don't use Linux so I don't know. :p
No way unless your Win is FAT32, which I doubt. Most likely is NTFS, in which case, you must not use ANY boot loader on MBR. To dual-boot NTFS & ext2 Back up your files & favorites on Windows Defrag & scandisk thorough Run fips.exe from CD1 Shrink Windows partition & create 2GB+ Linux partition Install Linux Install lilo on 1st sector of Linux partition dd if=/dev/hda3 of=boot.lnx bs=512 count=1 cp boot.lnx /mnt/floppy Boot XP copy boot.lnx c:\ edit boot.ini After multi(0)..., add C:\boot.lnx="linux" Reboot |
