Hi guys, I gave in trying to get football manager 2009 to run on Ubuntu for now as I just want to play it so I decided to finally reinstall Windows XP
Anyway I stole some 15gb off my /home partition and converted this into ntfs. I then installed my Windows XP SP3 CD on to this. Worked like a charm and I was able to boot straight into Windows.
I then went into the live CD ran
And this got me back into Ubuntu, so the next step was to get the grub to work with Windows. This is where I got confused.Code:- root (hd0,0) - setup (hd0) - quit - exit
I added
To the end of my menu.lst file but I now get an error instead of Windows trying to boot up.Code:title Windows XP root (hd0,1) makeactive chainloader +1
Heres my info:
