GRUB missing Windows boot option (was Re: Issues with Fedora 15 install)

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 




Should just be to add at the "bottom" of /boot/grub/menu.lst (below to similar ones)

title Windows XP
     rootnoverify(hd0,0)
     chainloader +1

No need to do anything else.
Reference http://forums.fedoraforum.org/showthread.php?t=145424 (the "grub", "setup" and "grub-install" parts do not apply to your case since GRUB is already installed).

In my F15 with Win7 32 bits the option was added correctly by the Fedora 15 installer.

Hello all

I installed Fedora 15 on a system with Intel Core i7-2600 processor, Intel DH67BL motherboard and 1 TB Hitachi HDD. The system had a prior Windows 7 install. However, the Fedora 64 bit install detected it simply as "other" and did not setup a Dual boot using a grub menu, as I found with installations of Fedora 11 & WinXP. Now my WinXP booting is lost!

How do I enable dual boot? Request pointers to a step-by-step instructions. Secondly, is this a bug? Has it been removed in later updates?
