Re: [LIP] booting problem (redhat-7.2 with win-XP)

Hi :-)

You have to write an entry to GRUB - it isn't difficult, because 
GRUB i genious adn simply
find the file menu.lst - it should be in your /boot directory
 - probably /boot/grub/menu.lst

title WinXP
root (hd0,0)
chainloader +1 

first line is the title of position
second is the  (hd_number_of_phisycal_disk , number_of_partition)
where the XP is installed - this is the thing you have to find out 
yourself
third - the "call for another bootloader" - for Win-XP

How to find you the number of disk and partition of whin XP
When you start your computer and the grub menu is show press c on 
keybord
it will bring you the command line, where you can test above setting
type 
	root(hd0,0) - press enter
it will show you the type of filesystem which you enter - if it 
isn,t what you looking for
write again for example
	root(hd0,1)
after it write
	chainloader +1
and then 
	boot
I it fail, you can try from beggining ;-)

------and about NTFS
It shouldnt be a problem to mount this partition under /mnt/.../ in 
Linux - but it will be only for reading - LInux is unable to write 
anything on NTFS.
Probably you have to install some additional package form your RH 
install CD's

Hope To Help
