dear Sean yes it was triple boot and it was working properly but i removed solarisx86 because i needed fedora to test some thing . and you are right , when i wanted to install fedora i chose for root fill the rest of the partion . i can override the master boot record with fixmbr through windows console recovery but i afraid to destroy every thing and again force to install every thing . i can login to winnt with console recovery . it seems only the chain bootloader has problem , it can not find ntoskrnl in the chain load processing . thanks for help and wait for other tips . --- Jeff Vian <jvian10@xxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > > > Sean Estabrooks wrote: > > >On Tue, 18 May 2004 01:04:56 -0700 (PDT) > >boby <bobysandz@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: > > > > > > > >>Hi > >>I installed fedora after i had installed win2000 > >>and now i get error when i want to start win2000 > from > >>grub boot loader .following line is from my > grub.conf > >>should i recover from windows recovery console or > i > >>should change some thing in grub conf. > >> > >>title WINDOWS 2000 > >> rootnoverify (hd0,0) > >> chainloader +1 > >> > >>and here is my partition table : > >>/dev/hda1 * 1461 3500 16386300 c > >>Win95 FAT32 (LBA) > >>/dev/hda2 3501 4866 10972395 a5 > >>FreeBSD > >>/dev/hda3 1 26 208813+ 83 > >>Linux > >>/dev/hda4 27 1460 11518605 5 > >>Extended > >>/dev/hda5 27 91 522081 82 > >>Linux swap > >>/dev/hda6 92 1460 10996461 83 > >>Linux > >> > >>thanks for help > >> > >> > >> > >Hi, > > > >This seems to be a known problem but i'm not sure > of the proper fix. > >Would you please test the following two changes and > let us know if either > >of them work or not: > > > >Modify the rootnoverify line above to: > > > >rootnoverify (hd0, 3) > > > >and if that doesn't work please try: > > > >rootnoverify (hd0,4) > > > >Hope this helps. > >Sean. > > > > > > > You are telling him to try to boot from the extended > partition ---> no > way, not a filesystem here. > Then you have him try the linux swap partition --> > even worse. > > (hd0,0) is hda1 (FAT32) > (hd0,1) is hda2 )FreeBSD) > (hd0,2) is hda3 (Linux) > (hd0,5) is hda5 (Linux) > These are the only possible choices, and his Windows > 2000 can only > possibly reside on hda1 or hda2 (probably on hda1). > > > He is trying to boot Windows 2000 which should be > NTFS and the partition > table shows it as FAT32. > This may be the problem, and if he allowed the > system to do an > auto-partition when installing it may have corrupted > the partition table. > A corrupt partition table may prevent recovery. > > Is this a triple boot machine? hda2 shows as > FreeBSD, hda1 shows as > FAT32, and hda3 & 6 show as linux with hda5 showing > as linux swap. > Which partition are you booting Linux from?
