Re: Dualboot with xp

You need to install the grub bootloader (a bootloader is an OS selector). If you have the desktop cd, follow these directions:

Find the linux drive and partition with

sudo fdisk -l

now start Grub:

sudo grub

type:

 root(hd0,0)

or wherever your / or /boot is located, if it is at /dev/hda1, it is (hd0,0), if it is at hda6 it is (hd0,5), just subtract one from the dev#. if its on another disk, use hd1,5
then type:

Setup (hd0)

or whichever drive your linux is located
Then restart.
