Package: grub Version: 0.95+cvs20040624-17 Severity: important Hi!
I have tried and failed miserably to set up dual booting between Windows XP and Debian Sarge with grub. I tried installing Windows on NTFS and FAT32 partitions, I recreated the partition table with fdisk, cfdisk, sfdisk and the Windows installer, all to no avail. Every time I enter the grub menu and boot Windows nothing happens, grub prints the commands it runs and the machine hangs there. I also tried booting with lilo, no improvement. Entering the commands by hand on the grub command line does not help. I'm completely stumped. The task should be simple but it's not working at all, so I have come to suspect a bug in grub or a failure to cope with my particular hardware. setup: ASUS P4GE-MX motherboard BIOS 1005 Maxtor 6E40L0 HDD 10GB primary partition /dev/hda1 NTFS/FAT32 Windows XP 30GB primary partition /dev/hda2 ext3 Sarge 512MB primary partition /dev/hda3 swap entry from menu.lst: title Windows XP rootnoverify (hd0,0) makeactive chainloader +1 If there is any more info I can provide, I will be glad to do so.
