I think access to grub.conf from XP will require EXT2/3 drivers for XP. I haven't used them. What I do is boot with the regular NT boot loader, with an entry in boot.ini to run a copy of the grub bootsector on the MSWindows boot volume (C:). That just runs grub the regular way. Booting takes a few seconds longer unless I press RETURN 3 times, once for NTLDR, and twice for grub. The thing I sometimes forget is to update the boot sector copy when grub is updated or re-installed, as the boot sector points to the disk blocks for grub stage 2. -- ____________________________________________________________________ TonyN.:' <mailto:tonynelson@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> ' <http://www.georgeanelson.com/>
