Fedora Core 2. Grub installed on the first drive mbr When I tell the bios to boot from the SII680 card Grub and Linux are loaded without problem. When I tell it to boot from the first hard drive windows boots. When I tell grub to chainload boot on the windows partition nothing happens.

There is nothing wrong with that, but this is larger than 1024, and could in certain setups cause problems with: 1) software that runs at boot time (e.g., old versions of LILO) 2) booting and partitioning software from other OSs (e.g., DOS FDISK, OS/2 FDISK) Command (m for help): p Disk /dev/hde: 13.5 GB, 13578485760 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 1650 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/hde1 * 1 1389 11157111 7 HPFS/NTFS /dev/hde2 1390 1650 2096482+ e W95 FAT16 (LBA) sfdisk says : [EMAIL PROTECTED] nim]# /sbin/sfdisk -d /dev/hde # table de partitions de /dev/hde unit: sectors /dev/hde1 : start= 63, size= 22314222, Id= 7, bootable /dev/hde2 : start= 22314285, size= 4192965, Id= e /dev/hde3 : start= 0, size= 0, Id= 0 /dev/hde4 : start= 0, size= 0, Id= 0 For detailed info, follow this link: <http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?func=detailitem&item_id=9159> _______________________________________________ Message sent via/by Savannah http://savannah.gnu.org/ _______________________________________________ Bug-grub mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-grub
