GRUB problem


Hi there,
I use RH 8 and GRUB. I have Windows 98 on hda and RH on hdb, and I want to multiboot with Windows.
So I put these line to my /boot/grub/menu.lst file :
Code:
title Windows
        root (hd0,0)
        chainloader +1
        boot
But when I try to start Windows, it prints this:
Quote:
Booting 'Windows'
root (hd0,0)
Filesystem is fat, partition type 0xb
chainloader +1
boot
Invalid system disk
Replace the disk, then press any key
How can I solve this problem?
Thank you
hfawzy

Take out the "boot" line. The boot command is only needed when entering Grub commands from the command line.

Did you edit /boot/grub/menu.lst ? I'm not sure what this is a symlink too but you should change your /boot/grub/grub.conf instead.

place 'rootnoverify (hd0,0)' instead of 'root (hd0,0)'
