| 51126 | 2002-05-27 12:17:00 | Hi guys, I ve partinioned my HD to 2 windows partitions and a linux one. I ve installed XP prof on the primary partition and than RH 7.2 on the linux partiiton. Everything went well until the final reboot and than for some reason PC is booting straight to WinXP instead of giving me the option to choose ( used GRUB). Is there anyway to fix this? Thanks | Guest (0) | ||

| 51128 | 2002-05-27 23:47:00 | If you have a boot disk then edit your /etc/lilo.conf to look something like below. YOu will need to substitute your partition numbers, Kernel version, etc. boot=/dev/hda map=/boot/map install=/boot/boot.b prompt timeout=50 message=/boot/message linear default=WinXP image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.2.16-22 label=linux read-only root=/dev/hdd2 other=/dev/hda1 label=WinXP ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Then run /sbin/lilo to rewrite the MBR with LILO. If you have a large disk you may need to replace 'linear' with 'lba32'. |
