Trying to add os to grub
Okay, here goes...
I have 2 hard drives set out like this - hda1 Linux hda2 Windows XP hda3 Backups hdb1 Windows XP hdb2 backups I have been using grub to dual boot between linux on hda1 and Windows on hdb1, the Windows on hda2 was not used. I've now decided I want to use that Windows on hda2 for experimental purposes but I'm having a little trouble booting it from grub. If I select the option from the grub menu I get an invalid system disk error - press any key. When I press any key it does boot as normal but I'm just wondering if anyone can tell me how to get around the error. I can also boot into it by editing the boot.ini on the hdb1 windows but I would rather boot straight into it from grub. Now, the fact that it is getting past grub and getting to the system disk error suggests to me that it isn't a problem with grub but I'm not sure. Just in case, here is my menu.lst - Code:
default 0 |
try changing it from
this: title Windows XP (hda2) root (hd0,1) savedefault makeactive chainloader +1 to this title Windows XP (hda2) rootnoverify (hd0,1) makeactive chainloader +1 |
