The first partition of my second hard disk (/dev/sdb1) is occupied by Windows XP. It is and old install and I haven't booted into it for a couple of years. (I seem to remember that, when I installed Debian on the actual first hd (/dev/sda1), I had momentarily put the other hd off, but am not sure.) Now I don't manage to boot into Windows partition any more. /boot/grub/menu.lst properly includes
title Microsoft Windows XP Professional root (hd1,0) savedefault makeactive chainloader +1 , and it's correct I think (hd1,0) (first partition of the second hd), but when I try to boot into it the following appears: Booting 'Microsoft Windows XP Professional' root (hd1,0) Filesystem type is fat, partition type 0xc savedefault makeactive chainloader +1 and nothing happens. I also tried to install Windows boot loader to the master boot record, with: # grub grub > root (hd1,0) grub > setup (hd1) grub > quit , but grub complains that it doesn't find the file /boot/grub/stage1, which is on the contrary there. Please help on this issue. Thanks in advance Rodolfo -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
