Problem booting into Vista after installing fedora 11
Hi Experts,
I have recently installed fedora11 on top of vista. I think my installation was successful, but the problem occurs, when i have a choice to select the OS to boot in, Its giving me only two options fedora and others, there is no option for vista and when i log into others, the system restarts.
After entering fedora, I have tried modifying menu.lst by adding entry
title Windows Vista Home Premium
root (hd0,0)
makeactive
chainloader +1
Now i got windows vista option when i restart, but when i select the vista option, its going some blue screen with 3 options like
1. Memory Test
2. some Hardware test (not sure)
3. Exit
I tried running the memory test and other test, but at some point in time, its aborting the test and restarting and its also restarting when i select exit option.......
