Hi all, I have Red Hat 7.2 and I use Grub. I have a problem with it because even though the menu for choosing the OS I want appears, and I can choose Windows, it appear an error message telling me that something's wrong with the partition and it can't boot into Windows but only Linux. To boot into Windows, I need to boot with a Windows floppy disk, then to use fdisk for setting the Windows partition as being the active partition. Then I am able to boot from hard disk in Windows, but I need to use again fdisk to set the Linux partition as active. Do you have any idea what can I do to be able to boot from that Linux bootloader? I know the guy that installed me Linux didn't create a partition from Windows, but it created it with a Linux program taking space from the Windows partition. In this case, I think this corrupted somehow my Windows partition. Thank you for any help with this.
