Hi! I don't know if anyone has already posted something like this, but i searched and i didnt find this exact problem.
I have been a ubuntu user for some months but recently i decided to install Windows Xp in an empty partition.
After installing XP GRUB didn't show up, but i found out in some site that you can restore grub by booting with the ubuntu CD. I did so, and now GRUB is the default boot-loader.
The problem is that i want to add a XP entry to GRUB, and i'm having some problems doing so.
From what i know about GRUB, i would have to modify /boot/grub/menu.lst and add some code with the XP entry
Code:
Disk /dev/sda: 250.0 GB, 250059350016 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 30401 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes
Disk identifier: 0xff620747
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/sda1 1 10444 83886080 7 HPFS/NTFS
/dev/sda2 * 10444 13055 20971520 7 HPFS/NTFS -> XP
/dev/sda3 13055 28067 120586240 7 HPFS/NTFS
/dev/sda4 28068 30401 18747855 5 Extended
/dev/sda5 28068 30298 17920476 83 Linux
/dev/sda6 30299 30401 827316 82 Linux swap / Solaris
Windows XP is installed on sda2, therefore i would have to add something like this to menu.lst:
Code:
title Microsoft Windows XP SP3
rootnoverify (hd0,1)
savedefault
makeactive
chainloader +1
...right? because sda2 -> hd0,1
But it doesn't work !(says something a missing NTLDR)
Obviously I'm doing something wrong, but i'm a newbie in linux so i'm kind of lost.....
Help please!!
