I just finished my install of UBUNTU which loaded grub as the software to choose which system to boot to. MY problem is that I can't get to XP via this boot loader. I did find a command format that should allow XP to boot (in the installation guide), but it did not do it. The commands that I used are as follows:
Here is the relevant section from my /boot/grub/menu.lst
# This entry automatically added by the Debian installer for a non-linux OS
# on /dev/hda1
title Windows NT/2000/XP
root (hd0,0)
savedefault
makeactive
chainloader +1
I have also attached my entire /boot/grub/menu.lst for you to look at.
Oh, yes I'm a noobe with Linux and with this boot loader, but I was able to find the information that was needed to edit the grub.conf file. The entries that was installed by Ubuntu was incorrect and the following was needed:
title=windows xp
rootnoverify=(hd0,0)
makeactive
chainloader +1
once I had changed it to the above and re-booted the system it read the config and when XP was selected it started to load. Course I paniced and started a reload of the XP OS so now I have a clean load of that along with my new load of Ubuntu
Thanks for the assistance - Kirrles01 and deathadder
