I believe you had instead (hd0,0) in the chainloader entry. Since that brings up a grub window, you seem to have grub installed to the boot sector of /dev/hda1 rather than to the MBR of /dev/hda (it may have been installed there too, but that is not what you are seeing after trying to boot into Windows).
Instead, the menu entry I saw set (hd1,0) as the root (with the rootnoverify command), but then loaded the first sector of (hd0,0) with "chainloader (hd0,0) +1". This is clearly incorrect. Just another note: Having just checked the grub documentation (info grub, you may wish to peruse that document, as it is rather comprehensive), I see that you can also use this: rootnoverify (hd1,0) chainloader +1 <snip> -- Moral indignation is jealousy with a halo. -- HG Wells -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
