 Posted: Mon Mar 15, 2004 2:07 pm Post subject: Need help setting up Grub! |
 |
|
How do I set up Grub for this partition layout?
| Code: | Dev Size FS OS
hda1 15GB NTFS Windows XP Root
hda2 65GB Fat32 Windows
hdb1 32M Ext2 Linux Boot
hdb2 1GB Swap Linux Swap
hdb3 39GB --- --- Extended Partition
hdb5 39GB Ext3 Linux Root
|
I tried installing Grub into the MBR of hda, but that corrupted the Windows XP Root partition beyond recovery?
In Grub:
| Code: | root (hd1,0)
setup (hd0,0) |
My grub.conf:
| Code: | default 0
timeout 5
splashimage=(hd1,0)/grub/splash.xpm.gz
title=Gentoo Linux
root (hd1,0)
kernel (hd1,0)/kernel-2.4.22-gentoo-r7 root=/dev/hdb5
title=Windows XP
root (hd0,0)
chainloader +1

that was a mistake.
You should just run setup(hd0) 
you can fix the XP boot records (I think) with a FDISK /MBR from the dos prompt, or FIXMBR from the XP CD (but I'm not sure about this, but the matter is how to set up linux, not win  )
grub.conf looks ok for me. |
