Using, title windows rootnoverify(hd0,0) chainloader+1 will not boot XP. After selecting WinXP from the Grub splash screen I get, rootnoverify (hd0,0) chainloader +1 Thanks for the suggestion. -----Original Message----- From: Jostein Berntsen [mailto:jbernts@broadpark.no] Sent: Tuesday, April 19, 2005 3:47 AM To: suse-linux-e@suse.com; suse-linux-e@lists.suse.com Subject: Re: [SLE] GRUB loader on Thinkpad On 18.04.05,18:48, Glenn-KPU wrote:

Fstab is: (with /dev/hda1 the WindowsXP boot target)
/dev/hda3 / reiserfs acl,user_xattr 1 1 /dev/hda1 /windows/C vfat users,gid=users,umask=0002,iocharset=utf8 0 0

The GRUB file is:

You might try this in your grub file:
title windows
rootnoverify(hd0,0)
chainloader+1
