edit /boot/grub/grub.conf

 

add this

Code:

title=WindowsXProot (hd0,X)        chainloader (hd0,X)+1

 

X being the partition.

 

The most critical part of understanding GRUB is getting comfortable with how GRUB refers to harddrives and partitions. Your Linux partition /dev/hda1 is called (hd0,0) under GRUB.

Harddrives count from zero rather than "a" and partitions start at zero rather than one.

For example:

hda5 in grub is (hd0,4)

hdb2 in grub is (hd1,1)

Greetings,

 

Before you make any permanent changes within your bootloader's conf file you can try :

 

su root|grub|reboot

 

when grub appears you ( with all you've heard before from the other guy)

 

root (hd0,x)

setup(hd0,x)

*kernel=/boot/vmlinuz

*initrd=/boot/initrd

chainloader (hd0,x)+1 ( or +21 +22 ) and check if you can load windows

 

You know,the manual way

 

Farewell
