 |
|
As my father is completly freakin' out because he can't use the computer (he told me he needs windows) I decided to install winxp on my second HD. I thought it couldn't be a problem to change my menu.lst and use grub (on my first HD) to boot windows. Well... I think my menu.lst should work perfectly. But there seems to be an error at my partitiontable. Grub only prints "filesystem type is fat, partition type 0xc" and makes me sick by using the speaker. I did try 0xb and others too using fdisk. I didn't find a way so solve that, yet.
my menu.lst:
| Code: |
default 0
timeout 10
splashimage=(hd0,0)/grub/splash.xpm.gz
title=Gentoo Linux 2.6.7
root (hd0,0)
kernel (hd0,0)/kernel-2.6.7 root=/dev/hda3
title=Gentoo Linux 2.4.24
root (hd0,0)
kernel (hd0,0)/kernel-2.4.24 root=/dev/hda3
title=Windoof XP
root (hd1,0)
makeactive
chainloader (hd1,0)+1

I created the windowspartition before I did install it by using fdisk as I didn't want to let windows use the whole HD.
I hope somebody can help me...
