these are the lines in my grub.conf that makes it possible to boot Windows 2000:
| Quote: | title=Win2k Professional
root (hd0,0)
chainloader +1
|
you might need to change the "root (hd0,0)" line to point to where your windows boot partition is.
if this doesn't work for you, can you post your grub.conf?

i should have made this more clear, im doing this after i have done a full gentoo install so that i dont have to open my case and switch ide and power cables all the time
its a second hard drive that shows up as hdb when linux is booting
| Code: | default 0
timeout 30
splashimage=(hd0,0)/grub/splash.xpm.gz
title=Gentoo Linux 2.4.24
root (hd0,0)
kernel /kernel-2.4.24 root=/dev/hda3
title=Windows XP
rootnoverify (hd1)
chainloader +1 |

It depends what you did to the drive windows is on.
If you didn't partition it, and formatted it as 1 drive then no hd(1,1) probably won't work.
I've got a question.. did you first install windows and then gentoo?
Or did you put a previous windows disk into the box... what did you actually do? |

So you mounted /boot then you edited /boot/grub/grub.conf saved and unmounted and then rebooted?
If you did it's rather strange that there isn't a line for you winxp boot option. |
