I certainly hadn't seen your further remark about your NTFS format etc. when I replied this morning. And apologies that my suggested commands were "approximate" - anyway you got to menu.lst and IMHO it looks as it should.
I've never had reason to use "fixmbr" so I've no idea what it has done (in detail!). If your WinXP installation is too important to reinstall my only other guess is to try a boot manager which might identify where your grub has gone and intervene before Windows takes charge - unfortunately I can't suggest one that is freeware (In the past I've used OSLOADER - $30). A very inelegant solution I agree. But things do seem to be messed up now. -- This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ opensolaris-help mailing list opensolaris-help@opensolaris.org
