I used partition magic 8.0 to create the partition for Ubuntu 6.10 and the swap partition. Booting in to Linux works fine, but when I attempt to boot in to Xp using GRUB, I get an "autocheck" error and it fails to load Xp. I can't seem to find the grub.conf (it's not in /boot/grub or /etc). Any ideas? Yep, I'm a noob. misawa

FYI: I had to unhide the Xp partition. Boots in to both OS's fine now.

Ok, so here's my menu.lst file - see anything that jumps out? title Ubuntu, kernel 2.6.17-10-generic root (hd0,1) kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.17-10-generic root=/dev/hda2 ro quiet splash initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.17-10-generic quiet initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.17-10-generic quiet savedefault boot title Ubuntu, kernel 2.6.17-10-generic (recovery mode) root (hd0,1) kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.17-10-generic root=/dev/hda2 ro single initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.17-10-generic boot title Ubuntu, memtest86+ root (hd0,1) kernel /boot/memtest86+.bin quiet boot ### END DEBIAN AUTOMAGIC KERNELS LIST # This is a divider, added to separate the menu items below from the Debian # ones. title Other operating systems: root # This entry automatically added by the Debian installer for a non-linux OS # on /dev/hda1 title Microsoft Windows XP Professional root (hd0,0) savedefault makeactive chainloader +1
