Hi there,
just installed Fedora Core3, but now I have an issue booting WinXP.
WinXP is installed on hda5, so my grub.conf reads:
---------------------------------------------
title WinXP
rootnoverify (hd0,4)
chainloader +1
---------------------------------------------
however, upon trying to boot WinXP, I get the output
Booting 'WinXP'
rootnoverify (hd0,4)
chainloader +1
and then it hangs.
Has anyone experienced this before or came across a solution for this.
I have re-installed Fedora, however this did not change anything.
This is the output of fdisk -l
