GRUB Linux, and WinXP RAID *SOLVED I added this to my menu.1st file and it got windows working (my original problem is below): title Windows XP root (hd1) map (hd0) (hd1) map (hd1) (hd0) chainloader +1 savedefault boot ----------------------------------------------------------------------- I need help getting a WinXP option in GRUB to work. Windows is installed on 2 SATA drives in RAID 0. Debian Linux was installed recently on a seperate IDE drive. Right now I can switch between the two OS by changing the boot order in BIOS. Below I've included /boot/grub/menu.1st file and the dump from doing fdisk -l Could someone help me figure out what I need to add to load windows? I would be greatful. Here is my current /boot/grub/menu.1st file: # menu.lst - See: grub(8), info grub, update-grub(8) # grub-install(8), grub-floppy(8), # grub-md5-crypt, /usr/share/doc/grub # and /usr/share/doc/grub-doc/. ## default num # Set the default entry to the entry number NUM. Numbering starts from 0, and # the entry number 0 is the default if the command is not used. # # You can specify 'saved' instead of a number. In this case, the default entry # is the entry saved with the command 'savedefault'. default 0 ## timeout sec # Set a timeout, in SEC seconds, before automatically booting the default entry # (normally the first entry defined). timeout 5 # Pretty colours color cyan/blue white/blue ## password ['--md5'] passwd # If used in the first section of a menu file, disable all interactive editing # control (menu entry editor and command-line) and entries protected by the # command 'lock' # e.g. password topsecret # password --md5 $1$gLhU0/$aW78kHK1QfV3P2b2znUoe/ # password topsecret # # examples # # title Windows 95/98/NT/2000 # root (hd0,0) # makeactive # chainloader +1 # # title Linux # root (hd0,1) # kernel /vmlinuz root=/dev/hda2 ro # # # Put static boot stanzas before and/or after AUTOMAGIC KERNEL LIST ### BEGIN AUTOMAGIC KERNELS LIST ## lines between the AUTOMAGIC KERNELS LIST markers will be modified ## by the debian update-grub script except for the default options below ## DO NOT UNCOMMENT THEM, Just edit them to your needs ## ## Start Default Options ## ## default kernel options ## default kernel options for automagic boot options ## If you want special options for specifiv kernels use kopt_x_y_z ## where x.y.z is kernel version.
