Some GRUB help please!
Anyone out there dual-booting XP and Ubuntu that uses GRUB - help!
I have Ubuntu on hda and XP on hdb. On install, the XP install wasnt detected, so I am trying to add it to GRUB. So far, I have got this in my menu.lst file: title Microsoft Windows XP rootnoverify (hd1,0) savedefault makeactive chainloader +1 Im fairly sure that should work but it tells me the device cannot be found... (I have tried hd1,1 too) This normally wouldnt be a problem but its ABSOLUTELY critical I get into that windows partition. What can I do? I cant seem to be able to mount the drive either, so im not sure what is going on really. Is there a way of restoring the proper windows boot loader for the time being, without damaging anything (and reinstall GRUB afterwards?). The blind panic is preventing me from thinking straight here... |
