Hi All, I have a Windows XP/RH 9.0 dual boot system configured. The partition is something like this.
/dev/hda1 - Win C Drive /dev/hda5 - Win D Drive /dev/hda6 - Win E Drive /dev/hdb1 - Linux /boot /dev/hdb2 - Linux / /dev/hdb3 - Linux swap /dev/hdb5 - Win F Drive Grub is the bootloader and it works just great. Now I am trying to use VMWare workstation 4.0 under Windows to boot Linux. The Grub interface is never shown. Instead the VMWare console displays "Grub" at the top left and hangs. I tried using using the Windows bootloader by using the "dd if=/dev/hda of=/mnt/floppy/bootsect.lnx bs=512 count=1". For if=/dev/hda, selecting "Linux" comes back to the bootloader, and for if=/dev/hdb, it throws up and error (some file not found error) Can anyone throw light? Ideally I would like Grub to work for me, but no issues if Windows bootloader can be fixed. Newbie here. Handle with care. :-) Regards, Bijur __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
