I reformatted my windows 98 C: drive (/dev/hda1) and installed WinXP,
and of course it overwrote grub. I put in the FC3 dvd and did
grub-install /dev/hda but it said it couldn't find /sbin/grub. I tried
the knoppix cd, entered the grub prompt, and set grub up with these
commands:
#: root (hd1,0) --> hdb1 is my Fedora /boot and hdv2 is the LVM with /
#: setup (hd0,0)
Now my grub screen comes back up, and I can boot both my fedora and
debian installations, but WindowsXP just returns me to the grub screen.
I tried doing it by the grub command line but it does the same thing.
How to I get XP to boot?
Here is my grub.conf:
