Subject: GRUB boot loader problem RH7.3

Hey, I need help, please anyone can help me?
Hi, I have a problem while loading my windows disk drive using GRUB. I have my
linux installed on the primary master and my windows on the primary slave. I
installed GRUB on the master drive (the linux one) and rebooted.. When Grub
loaded, I picked linux from the list and pressed enter. This worked fine. But
when I tried picking windows from the Grub list, it didnt work, it gave me
this message:
Booting 'win'
rootnoverify(hd1,1)
chainloader +1
And it just stayed there forever, until I pressed the ctrl+alt+del keys to
reboot, and now I'm in linux. Should I change something to some file in the
boot loader so I could launch windows? Anyone know about this?
btw, the windows disk drive contains 2 partitions... 1 partition was made by
dell, it's 50mb, and the other partition is the main partition where windows
is installed... it's 79gb. Does this help??

I have installed the two OS in a similar manner to yours. Linux on primary
master and windoze in primary slave. You'll have reconfigure grub inorder to
boo to your windoze.
Make changes to /etc/grub.conf to make it look as follows:
title windows
map (hd0) (hd1)
map (hd1) (hd0)
setup (hd0)
rootnoverify (hd1,0)
chainloader +1
The two map commands are the ones that do the trick. For more info check
man grub.
You will have to do this as the root user of course.
