Dear All

I have two hard disks in my machine:

* hda --> Fedora Core 6;
* hdb --> Windows XP.

In grub.conf, I have the following:

title Windows XP
       rootnoverify (hd1,0)
       makeactive
       chainloader +1

but I cannot boot into Windows XP. Any ideas?

Thanks in advance,

Paul


I believe that Win XP does not work on a second drive. I think your best bet is to swap drives and install grub in the MBR of the new /dev/hda (old /dev/hdb). Linux will happily boot on a second drive.
