Grub
I'm using grub as my boot loader. My primary disk,hda1, is Red Hat 8, and my slave,hdb1, is Windows XP(NTFS). I am sure it is hdb1 because I have mounted it on my desktop successfully.
so now I have gone into my grub.conf file and added the following: title Windows root (hd1,0) makeactive chainloader +1 saved the changes and left the name as grub.conf. next, I reboot.... well now I select Windows instead of Red Hat... and I get this message that says it doesn't understand my filesystem. I have already installed the new ntfs patch on my kernel. What went wrong and how do I fix this problem? |
first I think the second line should be
rootnoverify (hd1,0) I would check that. Second I think you made it quite hard on yourself by putting windows on slave, it doesn't like that :D This is an example of a working grub file: title Windows 98 hide (hd0,0) hide (hd0,1) unhide (hd0,2) rootnoverify (hd0,2) chainloader +1 makeactive Hope it works, Anne |
Code:
title Windows XP |

Thanks soooo much, your advice worked. Now I get best of both worlds =). But I still prefer to use RedHat more because I'm still able to access my windows stuff from it. Once again, thanks. |
