they've told me to change this 2 lines
rootnoverify (hd0,0)
chainloader +1
into
rootnoverify (hd0,1)
chainloader +!

any ideas guys?
maybe the installation delete my other OS or any ideas how to change this file?
Thank you a lot!

Two NTFS Partitions and one marked as Unknown. I think Unknown partition is for Recovery.
Have you tried to edit grub.conf file?

su -
nano /boot/grub/grub.conf

initrd /initramfs-2.6.31.5-127.fc12.i686.img

title Windows OS

Press Ctrl+X, Y and hit Enter key to save file.

Error1:
Filename must be either an absolute pathname or blocklist

any ideas?
thank you

Something is wrong with grub.conf file. Did you copy exact contents.
Backup grub.conf file and create new. Open Terminal and execute this

su -
cd /boot/grub
mv grub.conf grub.conf.bak
nano grub.conf

Copy contents from my last post and paste in new empty grub.conf file. Save and reboot.

only these lines?

title Windows OS
rootnoverify (hd0,1)
chainloader +1

and i have windows vista, shall i leave the title like that Windows OS?

[devils casper]

Above lines are enough. There is no need to add other stuff in grub.conf file.

You can set whatever title you like. Replace Windows OS with anything you want.

if i have any problem i will contact you! thnx
