Thanks. drop into command line on MeeGo and run fdisk -l (as root) to see what partitions are there. You are looking for a partition with type NTFS there may be multiple partitions as there may be a rescue partition too Note the NTFS partitions and then edit /boot/extlinux/extlinux/conf Add a new stanza like label Windows 7 menu label Windows 7 kernel menu.c32 append boot 1 Change the last line according to what you find in the fdisk -l listing. For example, if your Windows partition is /dev/sda1 then it'll be 'append boot 0' if it is /dev/sda2 it'll be 'append boot 1' and so on. -- Amit Bapat Open Source Technology Center Intel Corporation ___ MeeGo-dev mailing list MeeGo-dev@meego.com http://lists.meego.com/listinfo/meego-dev
