I have installed Linux and Windows XP on my hard drive and am trying to
set up a dual boot. Unfortunately XP is installed at a high sector,
namely block 204438565. The partition table starts:
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/sda1 63 2040254 1020096 83 Linux
/dev/sda2 2040255 104438564 51199155 83 Linux
/dev/sda3 * 104438565 206836874 51199155 b W95 FAT32
...
I have set up grub.conf as follows:
...
title Windows
rootnoverify (hd0,2)
chainloader +1
The grub initialization screen starts OK, but when I select Windows,
grub fails with a disk read error.
Questions:
(1) Is grub.conf set up right for this partition table?
(2) Is it possible to boot XP at this location, or do I have to
reinstall Linux and XP with their partition reversed, so as to get the
XP partition to a smaller block number?
(3) Is there some quicker way to get the partitions reversed other than
reinstallation?
Thanks - jon
