Windows Xp BOOTMGR is missing
I just installed fedora on a new partition and I get this error when I try to boot Xp.
Here is what fdisk -l prints : Disk /dev/sda: 200.0 GB, 200049647616 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 24321 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes Disk identifier: 0xd24d0f61 Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/sda1 1 192 1536000 27 Unknown Partition 1 does not end on cylinder boundary. /dev/sda2 12352 22632 82574132 7 HPFS/NTFS /dev/sda3 193 12351 97667167+ f W95 Ext'd (LBA) /dev/sda4 * 22633 24162 12288000 83 Linux /dev/sda5 193 12351 97667136 7 HPFS/NTFS Partition table entries are not in disk order What do I have to do to fix this?Thx |
I am assuming that you installed grub as your boot loader? That should replace the Windows boot loader. Are you able to boot into Fedora? If so, see if you can mount your Windows partition there.
Then, check your grub.conf file. It should be located in Fedora at /boot/grub/grub.conf and you should be looking for a windows option (usually commented out). You'll want something like the following: Code:
title Windows |

What should the values look like? Ps: i am able to browse c: and d: from my fedora. |
Change root (hd1,0) in root (hd0,1)
Hope it helps |
Agree with ronlau9 plus you need to either set the sda2 partition as active or include "makeactive" in the Grub entry:
title xp rootnoverify (hd0,1) makeactive chainloader +1 The map commands are only used with multiple physical hard drives. |
