Linux

I have an issue with booting NTFS partitions with Grub.
I have two HHD
1st HDD with Red Hat 9.0 and Grub as bootloader
2nd HDD with 8 Win partitions all ntfs.

I have added the following line in my grub.conf:

title Windows2000/Domino 6
root (hd1,0)
makeactive
chainloader +1

When I try to boot Windows I get:
Filesystem type uncknown, partition type 0x7
(0x7 means ntfs)

Any ideas?

no time to give detailed response, but the grub documentation, specifically the linked section should help:

http://www.gnu.org/software/grub/man...#DOS%2fWindows

try this (edit your grub.conf, windows section):

title Windows
rootnoverify (hd1,0)
chainloader +1

it's must be help!

This is the correct method for booting windows. GRUB cannot read NTFS partitions and thus cannot boot operating systems contained on them, but it can chainload to an NTFS partition.

For example, I have a hard disk driver with 2 partitions.
On first I have WinXP, second for files only.....
I use method as I said above -- it works!
If you see an error again try change correct hdX, and partitions:
rootnoverify(hd<X>, <partition>)
