I also have GRUB has a bootloader for FC2 and Xp, and both work fine, but I couldn't get Xp work if I installed FC2 with my Xp disk plugged in. The easiest (because only) way I found to have multiboot working is to install the OS on 2 separate disks, then to plug in both of them, with Linux master and to configure GRUB manually (with mapping and chainloading). I also was said that you can first install Xp on a master disk, then install FC2 on the slave and let anaconda configure grub for you, and it seems to work fine, but I never did it myself. And I definitly don't like the idea to have Linux on slave while Xp is on master ;) >On Sun, Jul 18, 2004 at 06:45:21PM +0200, Mikael Konttinen wrote: >> Ori, >> >> No, I believe that is because you have overwritten the MBR (Master Boot >> Record) with GRUB, something that Windows XP cannot handle as it needs its >> own (NT) bootloader. >> >I've got GRUB in my MBR and can still boot Windows XP.
