Dual Booting Fedora Core 4 and Windows XP Professional...

DrepMagnus · 08-04-2005, 08:13 PM

Sorry I'm not sure which board to post this on but I am wondering if anyone knows what i need to put into boot.ini in order to add core 4 to the boot list.
Pro and Core 4 are on seperate disks first partition. Both of the "osie" {I guess}. The only way i can do it right now is disabling the apropriate disk to boot what os I want. Also maybe it would be easier to boot Pro from the core 4 bootloader? thanks in advance

You can set that in "grub.conf" (in /etc/grub, IIRC), and you can choose what OS it starts in...

Post back if you need more after looking at it...

Did you Install Grub Or Lilo? If You Did And It doesn't pop up, you have to set the boot flag...

Ya thanks people. Did some research after I posted this message and it seems like booting XP from grub would be a lot easier. I haven't attempted yet but I wanna work on it a bit myself before I get more help. I'll be back if i need it, hope you all will.

Thanks again
