dual boot grub error

[Joe2003]

Hi

K, we have a single hard drive. xp had all 120gb of the disk. So we used partion magic to split the drive in half. then we had 60gb for win and 60gb free. Installed linux and it works fine but grub doesnt notice the windows partion and the option for booting either does not exist? Any pointers?

this is grub.conf:-

# grub.conf generated by anaconda
#
# Note that you do not have to rerun grub after making changes to this file
# NOTICE: You do not have a /boot partition. This means that
# all kernel and initrd paths are relative to /, eg.
# root (hd0,1)
# kernel /boot/vmlinuz-version ro root=/dev/hdb2
# initrd /boot/initrd-version.img
#boot=/dev/hdb
default=0
timeout=5

initrd /boot/initrd-2.6.15-1.2054_FC5smp.img
title Other
rootnoverify (hd0,0)
chainloader +1


Any help please??

thanks

yeah I know what the title is, changing its isnt gonna acieve much, I dont even get a list, just booting fc5 in 5.4.3.2.1

[devils casper]

lol, sorry mate. I misread your post, I thought you where asking me to change the title.

did you try booting up this title.....

<=== { casper } ===>

it was just your signiture

No I dont even get a list, I have loads of dual boot stuff, just i didnt do this install. I just get "booting linux in 5.4.3.2.1" If i press any key then nothing happens, just carries on counting down. my guess is that the partion that 'Other' points to is not correct. Or that the linux install was done wrong and messed up the ntfs partion?

thanks for your help casper
