I downloaded and installed fedora 10 on the second partition of the second harddrive in my system. I installed grub on the second drive as well. I added windows XP (the entire first hard drive) and windows server 2003 (the first partition of the second HD) to the boot list. In my bios I set the second HD in the boot device list.
Now I can boot fedora 10 BUT when I select xp or server 2003 I get an error message that reads:- NTLDR is missing.
Presuming that your boot drive is hd0 and you are using grub.
Edit /boot/grub/menu.lst
For the entry for the Windows on the other drive try:
title Windows XP
root (hd1,0)
savedefault
chainloader +1
For the entry for the server on the first drive try:
title Windows Server
rootnoverify (hd0,1)
chainloader (hd0,0)+1
Thank you for the info, however, it didn't work. I was able to edit the file menu.lst (I can see the new lines of script when grub starts).
I can boot Fedora 10 no problem. When I try to boot windows XP I get the error message - NTLDR is missing. I have booted an XP cd and started the recovery process. Ran fixmbr and fixboot. still getting the same thing.
It would be nice if I could get my systems running without losing an files or data from my windows installations.
