Redhat & WIndows...another GRUB & MultiBoot Problme
I had a working winxp and yoper distribution installed on my spare pc. As my windows was getting buggy and I was bored with yoper, I thought of re-installing windows XP Service Pack II and Red Hat Linux this time around. I installed winxp first, worked fine, and then I installed Red Hat.
The problem is WInxp doesnt boot.
The message I get is
root(hd0,0)
chainloader +1
Now, I am guessing that since grub reaches to the stage of chainloader +1, this is essentially a windows problem. So, I re-installed again but the same problem.
I am outputting here the output of the command fdisk -l
Disk /dev/hda: 40.0 GB, 40020664320 bytes
16 heads, 63 sectors/track, 77545 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 1008 * 512 = 516096 bytes

/dev/hda8 62205 77535 7726792+ 83 Linux
I will really appreciate if someone can help me fix this problem. Fdisk also reported that the number of cylinders on this disk were set more than 1024 which might cause a problem with boot programs of windows. Is this the case. WHat should i do?
Appreciate your help
