Hi and welcome to LQ.

For booting windows, you can do

Code:

title Windows

    rootnoverify (hd1,1)

    chainloader +1

thank you :)
my old conf was like that

title MS Windows XP
root (hd1,1)
savedefault
makeactive
chainloader +1

i will try yours:)

man it didnt boot again . just wrote booting ms windows xp root chainloader etc
but it dont boot windows

What exactly happens when you try to boot windows and are there any error messages printed on the screen?
