Re: [edlug] The Grub ate my Boot



My grub.conf has the following entry for XP:

title XP
        rootnoverify (hd0,0)
        chainloader +1

Change root to rootnoverify perhaps?

Subject: [edlug] The Grub ate my Boot


After a recent install of Mandrake10 I can no longer access my windows xp.
Mandrake boots fine but on trying to load windows all I get is-->

Booting 'windows'
root (hd0,0)
Filessystem type unknown, Partition type 0x7
chainloader +1

then it just freezes there I had a similar problem with fedora can any one
shed any light on this. Both grub and lilo used to work fine on my system
but with recent versions I seem to be having trouble.
