 |
|
Hi, I wanna change grub legacy to grub2 on my laptop:
Linux on SD card:
| Code: | /dev/sdb1 /boot ext2
/dev/sdb2 / ext4 |
Windows on /sda1
In BIOS is set booting from SD card.
Windows lines in grub legacy are:
| Code: | title Windows XP
map (hd0,0) (hd1,0)
map (hd1,0) (hd0,0)
rootnoverify (hd1,0)
makeactive
chainloader +1 |
I suppose that I have to change /etc/grub.d/40_custom.
My question is - are those lines correct for windows boot?
| Code: | menuentry "Windows XP" {
drivemap -s (hd0) (hd1)
set root=(hd0,1)
chainloader +1
insmod part_msdos
insmod ntldr
insmod ntfs
ntldr (hd0,msdos1)/ntldr
} |
Thanks in advance.

you need to change nothing.... stock grub2 + os prober + ntfs support will auto detect windows and put it in its rightful place. look at the grub2 wiki & grub2 quick start wiki. google them  |
