Hello,
Sorry it took so long to get back. The previous response was helpful. I think I've confirmed that win.XP's boot.ini file is the right target. If I decide to try out the new grub, I think the process would look something like: # mv /boot/grub /boot/grub-legacy # dd if=/dev/sdX of=/backups/bootcode_backup bs=446 count=1 # pacman -S grub-bios # modprobe dm_mod # grub-install --directory=/usr/lib/grub/i386-pc --target=i386-pc --grub-setup=/bin/true --boot-directory=/boot --recheck --debug /dev/sda # mkdir -p /boot/grub/locale # cp /usr/share/locale/en@quot/LC_MESSAGES/grub.mo /boot/grub/locale/en.mo # grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg # grub-probe --target=fs_uuid /media/Windows/boot.ini <record output number.> edit /etc/grub.d/40_custom: menuentry "Microsoft Windows XP" { insmod part_msdos insmod ntfs insmod search_fs_uuid insmod ntldr search --fs-uuid --no-floppy --set=root <value from above> ntldr /ntldr } finally: # grub-mkconfig If everything went okay, try rebooting and see if I can still get into my machine at all. If something goes wrong: # mv /boot/grub /boot/grub.nonfunctional # cp -af /boot/grub-legacy /boot/grub # dd if=/backups/mbr-boot-code of=/dev/sdX bs=446 count=1 When i get some time, I'll look into some of the commands I'm not that familiar with to get a better handle on what they do. Thank you:-) |
