I use FC1 along with Windows ME, NT(2000) and XP on the same hard drive but different partitions. During installation, I was presented by an option to choose the default boot OS, and along with htis, there was an option to add other partition/OS info to boot directly. I figured the right partitions allotted to XP and NT, while ME of-course was on primary DOS, and continued with the installation. But they didn't work, and just ME could be loaded from the GRUB window. Is there a way to boot these systems directly from the GRUB window.
I had a menu like option similar to that of grub with the default as the highest version (XP). After installing FC1, I am still seeing this menu once I choose to boot Windows from the GRUB's OS choice menu
Then all 3 of your Windows is using that one nt os loader.
Unfortunately you won't be able boot 2k or XP directly using GRUB, only through that menu.
Do you have a bootsect.dos in c:\?
