Why did grub not boot both windows and Linux after you loaded
Linux? In the load sequence it gets to the grub section and ask's if
you want it. Then if yes you set up Linux and windows to be booted.
Why did this not work?
As I stated, Windows XP did not like having the MBR tampered with. I'm
not a MCSE, so I didn't do much in the way of troubleshooting Windows,
nor did I feel like going through the hassles on my personal computer.
Furthermore, it was 7 months ago that I did the installations, and the
details are no longer as clear as they once were.
You can reload the boot for windows by just running the install CD
for winXP. You should not ever lose windows.
See above. The few times I did try to use the WinXP recovery, I chose to
use the automated recovery which failed to do anything useful.
Tell us more about your setup. How many hard drives? How did you
make partitions? Which partitions do you have now? What are the names
of the partitions, like /dev/sda3 and such?
At the time of installation, there was just a single SATA hard disk
which I partitioned during WinXP's installation. As I'm about 20 miles
from the machine at the moment (accessing it via RDP over ssh), I can't
exactly pop a CD into it and boot linux to find out all the details at
this time; I'll do that this evening. But, if memory serves, the Linux
partition is at /dev/sda2.
