It would also be useful to see the partition table grub boots from the mbr usually seen in the menu.lst as: # groot=(hd0,0) (the first partition on the first disk) grub will look for the kernel options where grub is installed - normally the root partition of your debian install - ie. which ever partition is "/" as follows: # kopt=root=/dev/hdaX ro (X = partition number) and your windows system should appear in menu.lst like this: # This entry automatically added by the Debian installer for a non-linux # OS on /dev/hda1 title Windows 95/98/Me root (hd0,0) savedefault makeactive chainloader +1 Regards Clive -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
