to boot windows you have to write:<br>title Windows<br>root (hd0,1)<br>chainloader +1<br>this will boot your winxp. you have to boot the ntldr partition which then loads xp<br><br>as for the other linux distro use boot partition as root.

Hello,<br>I needed to install Windows XP on a logical partition, but I found that it can&#39;t boot from such a partition because NTLDR needs to be installed on a primary one.<br>So I set up the following partition scheme:
<br>&nbsp; /dev/sda1 ext3 Gentoo root<br>&nbsp; /dev/sda2 ntfs NTLDR<br>&nbsp; /dev/sda4 Extended<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; /dev/sda5 ext2 Gentoo portage<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; /dev/sda6 swap Gentoo swap<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; /dev/sda7 ext3 Gentoo home<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; /dev/sda8 ntfs Windows XP
<br>
<br>Win xp installed and booted without problem but now that I need to restore GRUB, I am wondering if I need to write &quot;root (hd0,1)&quot; or &quot;root (hd0,7)&quot; into the grub.conf to boot windows.<br><br>Thanks for your help
