GRUB

[leonardovarela 0]

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 )
