HD Install :: Windows 98 DSL dual boot
I installed DSL on my old Celeron 400 laptop.
On hda is a windows 98 partition
on hdb is DSL on the same harddrive
I chose during the hard drive install to install DSL onto Hdb.
And when it asked if hda contained windows I indicated yes
However when grub boots I get no option of booting into windows 98. I can see its stilll there.
What do I need to edit or do to boot into windows 98?
I am a newbie so please indicate steps
and syntax
Thanks
Jeanette
Make sure the following is in the grub menu.lst file (/boot/grub/menu.lst)
title Windows
root (hd0,0)
chainloader +1
makeactive
boot
If it is not there you will need to run an editor as root to add. (to do this right click on the Elmfm and run as root, navigate to /boot/grub, click on menu.lst then click edit from the menu between the two panes, make changes, save and exit). Make sure there are no pound (number #) signs in front of those lines. The pound is the comment (or rem in dos).
