Hello,
Im new to linux, I installed today RedHat 8.0.

I have two hard disks, one 6Gigas and the other 80Gigas, im the only one that will use linux, so I Have installed XP on the 80 gigas hard drive.

my /boot/grub/grub.conf file looks like this

# grub.conf generated by anaconda
#
# Note that you do not have to rerun grub after making changes to this file
# NOTICE You do not have a /boot partition. This means that
# all kernel and initrd paths are relative to /, eg.
# root (hd1,0)
# kernel /boot/vmlinuz-version ro root=/dev/hdb1
# initrd /boot/initrd-version.img
#boot=/dev/hda
default=1
timeout=10
splashimage=(hd1,0)/boot/grub/splash.xpm.gz
title Red Hat Linux (2.4.18-14)
root (hd1,0)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.4.18-14 ro root=LABEL=/ hdc=ide-scsi
initrd /boot/initrd-2.4.18-14.img
title WINDOWS XP
rootnoverify (hd0,0)
chainloader +1


When I chose WindowsXP it just prints on my screen

rootnoverify(hd0,0)
chainloader +1

And that is it (

So please if you can help me out, i would really apreciate it. Linux loads very good, xp doesnt.

-Sorry for my bad english, not my born languaje.

Greetings ,

1) root (hd0,1)
2) setup (hd0,1)
3) kernel=/boot/vmlinuz
4) initrd=/boot/initrd
5) chainloader (hd0,1)+1 ( if not try +21 as well )
5) boot

You should get the boot screen with linux/windows ( If the map lst
are configured properly )

Farewell
