Grub can't find Windows XP
grub was working beautifully on my old hard drive. I cloned my drive, and reinstalled
grub. My linux partition loads fine, but when I click on Windows, grub simply sends me back to the grub prompt with no error message. On investigating, it appears that grub hasn't loaded the windows kernel. (I typed boot and it said you have to load the kernel first). Here's the relevant portion of menu.lst title Microsoft Windows XP Professional root (hd0,1) savedefault makeactive chainloader +1 The windows partiition is indeed on /dev/hda2, cloned from my old hard drive. The only difference between my new hard drive and old one is that the number of sectors per track is much smaller, so that now /dev/hda2 starts at cylinder 145, while before it started at 10. I don't know if this could make the difference, but everything else is identical Any advice would be most appreciated. In particular, since grub is giving me no error message, I can't do any more diagnosis! Is there any way to get grub to be more verbose about what's going on? Any help would be most appreciated! |
