 |
|
For some reason Grub isn't booting into windows for me. I highlight Windows 2000, and it just flashes real fast and shows either root (hd0,0) or rootnoverify (hd0,0), take your pick, I've tried both and they refuse to work. Gentoo will boot though.
Heres my grub.conf
| Code: |
default 0
timeout 15
title=Gentoo 2004.2
root (hd0,1)
kernel /kernel-2.6.7-gentoo-r11 root=/dev/hda4
title=Windows 2000
rootnoverify (hd0,0)
chainloader +1

Try putting a space in the last line, so it would be this instead:

Windows can get persnikity when you try booting it after you have booted the MBR from another hard disk. If you have your windows and linux systems on seperate hard disks and you are booting from the MBR on your linux disk then you might need to add a couple of map commands to remap the drives around. Here is the windows XP section from my grub.conf file, hope it helps..
# Windows XP
title=Windows XP
map (hd0) (hd1)
map (hd1) (hd0)
rootnoverify (hd1,0)
