Hello,
I have installed a Windows XP on another partition than my FC5. The system boot on Windows. I'm unable to do a dual-boot FC5 and XP. The steps followed are below:
- Boot from DVD, then on the prompt: linux rescue;
- from the rescue mode prompt: chroot /mnt/sysimage;
- then: /sbin/grub-install /dev/hda.
So, occurs an error about stage1 incomplete or something like that.
Any ideas, please?
TIA, Vinicius.
You might try this instead of the grub-install. Let us assume that your linux is on partition 2. grub grub> setup (hd0) grub> root (hd0,1) grub> quit
then reboot
The 1 in the root command refers to partition 2 since grub numbers partitions starting at 0.
