Gentoo / Windows / Grub Error 13

**Cae** · 12-09-2005

Ok, well I installed Windows... it was all happy, then I went and installed Gentoo and it was all peachy, but then Windows got *****... When I try to load XP Pro via grub I get a:

Error 13: Invalid or unsupported executable format

I have tried just about everything under the sun to fix this and have no idea why it is not working... Does anyone have any suggestions?

Here is my grub.conf file:

Code:

...
title=Windows XP Pro
rootnoverify&#40;hd0,0&#41;
makeactive
chainloader +1

My partitions are as follows:
hda1 - NTFS - Windows XP Pro
hda2 - ext3 - Gentoo Root
hda3 - ext3 - boot
hda5 - swap
hda6 - FAT32 data drive

Thanks.

You might need a space between "rootnoverify" and the drive.

You definitely need a space between rootnoverify and (hd0,0).
Here is my XP entry in menu.lst

Code:

title XP
rootnoverify &#40;hd0,0&#41;
makeactive
chainloader +1

*shakes head sadly* That space didnt even register in my mind... I never would have figured that out myself... Thanks.
