 Dual boot with XP and Fedora Core 3 using Grub Hi, Would like to know if anyone faced any problems when using Grub for dual boot, with systems XP and Fedora Core installed? I could see the dual boot screen the first time, but after booting into windows the 2nd time, I could never see the screen again until a grub-install is being done on using linux rescue. This however is a rather cumbersome method, as I would need to reinstall grub every 2 times I boot into windows. Anyone has other better methods? Am trying not to install any 3rd party dual boot softwares such as bootmagic. So advice on how to configure grub is greatly appreciated. Thanks!      |

This is my grub.conf - you need to check which actual partitions are used by XP to set it up, mine was done automaticaly by FC3 install though. # grub.conf generated by anaconda # # Note that you do not have to rerun grub after making changes to this file # NOTICE: You do not have a /boot partition. This means that # all kernel and initrd paths are relative to /, eg. # root (hd0,4) # kernel /boot/vmlinuz-version ro root=/dev/hda5 # initrd /boot/initrd-version.img #boot=/dev/hda default 1 timeout 8 splashimage=(hd0,4)/boot/grub/splash.xpm.gz # hiddenmenu title Fedora Core (2.6.11) root (hd0,4) kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.11 ro root=LABEL=/ rhgb quiet title Windows XP rootnoverify (hd0,1) chainloader +1 |
