Grub doesn't boot Windows
 
Hi all!

I recently decided to install fedora core3 next to my windows xp installation. After installing fedora and grub i restartet my machine and grub gave me the choice between win and linux. Linux works just fine, but if i select windows it just prints the grub config of the according win part and stops, windows doesn't boot.

I tried changing the grub.conf in differenet ways, nothing worked. I suppose the problem is, that windows is installed on my primary hd and linux on my third BEHIND an raid controller (which i don't use for RAID but simpy as second IDE Controller).

Here is my harddisk configuration:

Platte /dev/hda: 41.1 GByte, 41174138880 Byte
16 Köpfe, 63 Sektoren/Spuren, 79780 Zylinder
Einheiten = Zylinder von 1008 * 512 = 516096 Bytes

Gerät Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/hda1 * 1 79752 40194598+ 7 HPFS/NTFS <-- WINDOWS

Platte /dev/hdb: 60.0 GByte, 60022480896 Byte
16 Köpfe, 63 Sektoren/Spuren, 116301 Zylinder
Einheiten = Zylinder von 1008 * 512 = 516096 Bytes

/dev/hdb5 17 116296 58605088+ b W95 FAT32

Platte /dev/hde: 160.0 GByte, 160041885696 Byte
255 Köpfe, 63 Sektoren/Spuren, 19457 Zylinder
Einheiten = Zylinder von 16065 * 512 = 8225280 Bytes

Gerät Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/hde1 1 12748 102398278+ 7 HPFS/NTFS
/dev/hde2 * 12749 18867 49150867+ 83 Linux <-- linux
/dev/hde3 18868 19457 4739175 83 Linux

Thats the original grub.conf:

default=1
timeout=10
splashimage=(hd2,1)/boot/grub/splash.xpm.gz
title Fedora Core (2.6.5-1.358)
root (hd2,1)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.5-1.358 ro root=LABEL=/ rhgb quiet
initrd /boot/initrd-2.6.5-1.358.img
title Windows XP Professional
rootnoverify (hd0,0)
chainloader --force +1

Thats what i tried:

default=1
timeout=10
splashimage=(hd2,1)/boot/grub/splash.xpm.gz
title Fedora Core (2.6.5-1.358)
root (hd2,1)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.5-1.358 ro root=LABEL=/ rhgb quiet
initrd /boot/initrd-2.6.5-1.358.img
title Windows XP Professional
rootnoverify (hd0,0)
chainloader --force +1
makeactive
boot

I need to get this run...please help!

Thanks!
