Re: Cant boot Windows XP after installing FC6

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



In the orginal send file was the grub file ok
but it seems now somehow broken up

I think there was something wrong with copying the master boot record.
I think this is strange because i made an update from FC4 to FC6 be
re-installing
How can i fix the masterboot record
Or how can i fix the masterboot record for Windows XP (I can than
reinstall FC6)

Thanks

Erik

This is the correct file:

cat grub.conf
# grub.conf generated by anaconda
#
# Note that you do not have to rerun grub after making changes to this
file
# NOTICE:  You have a /boot partition.  This means that
#          all kernel and initrd paths are relative to /boot/, eg.
#          root (hd0,0)
#          kernel /vmlinuz-version ro root=/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00
#          initrd /initrd-version.img
#boot=/dev/hda
default=1
timeout=5
splashimage=(hd0,0)/grub/splash.xpm.gz
hiddenmenu
title Fedora Core (2.6.18-1.2798.fc6xen)
       root (hd0,0)
       kernel /xen.gz-2.6.18-1.2798.fc6
       module /vmlinuz-2.6.18-1.2798.fc6xen ro

       rootnoverify (hd0,1)
       chainloader +1
