edit /boot/grub/grub.conf
add this
Code:
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)
add this
Code:
title=WindowsXProot (hd0,X) chainloader (hd0,X)+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
