Help with GRUB
For staters, I am new to linux.
I have windows xp on drive c: (hd0) and it work just fine. Then I installed linux on d: (hd1) and it works just fine. My problem is, when i reboot. I do not get prompted to pick an OS. I have tried some some advise that I have found on the forms, but still no windows. Here is a copy of my "grub.conf".
# grub.conf generated by anaconda
#
# Note that you do not have to rerun grub after making changes to this file
# NOTICE: You have a /boot partition. This means that
# all kernel and initrd paths are relative to /boot/, eg.
# root (hd1,0)
# kernel /vmlinuz-version ro root=/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00
# initrd /initrd-version.img
#boot=/dev/hda
default=1
timeout=0

The problem is that your timeout is set to 0: You should change this to which will give you 10 seconds to pick a OS.
