I need help with GRUB

[kerpaul]

I have windows 2k; XP and I just installed red hat 7.2. I have been able to configure GRUB to boot win 2k but did not find how to make GRUB load the OS from the second partition of the first drive. What do I need to ad to the file to do this.

Modify the config you have for the first OS to match the second partition on the drive (hda2?).

usually there is only one primary partition so the second parition (first logical drive in the extended partition) would be hda5.

hda1,hda5,hda6,hda7, etc etc..

GRUB numbers its drives a little diffrently than LILO. Firstly, the first drive is hd0,0 (hda1 in LILO speak.) First partiiton of 2nd drive would be hd1,0

 

[kerpaul]

So if I add the following to grub.conf it should let me boot the second part of the first drive

title Windows XP
hide (hd0,0)
unhide (hd0,1)
rootnoverify (hd0,1)
root (hd0,1)
imakeactive
chainloader +1
