Hi,
I had two separate hard drives, one with Windows XP Professional installed, and another hard drive with Red Hat Linux 7.2. I put both of these drives into my system, and then I booted to Windows XP and installed BootMagic, thinking then I will get a menu where I can boot to either drive. However, BootMagic only sees the Windows XP drive and marks the other drive as Unknown. However, if i take out the Windows XP (and don't use BootMagic), I can boot to Linux just fine. Linux is using the GRUB boot manager and its on the MBR of that drive.
Is there some way to include the option to boot to the Linux drive through the NT Loader and editing boot.ini?
This is my boot.ini file:
[boot loader]
timeout=30
default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINNT
[operating systems]
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINNT="Microsoft Windows XP Professional" /fastdetect
I am not sure how to add a line to the boot.ini correctly.
Thank you!
