GRUB issue 3124
Without LVM it's going to be painful, but it is definitely possible. The following is how I'd approach the problem. It is NOT a guaranteed recipe! * Drop to single...
Folks, I need some help ASAP. I just did the following:
1.) Used the FC3 CD to boot using the linux rescue option 2.) Did "chrootmnt-sysimage" 3.) Did "grub-installdev-hda1" (-dev-hda2 is my Windows parbreastion,dev-hda5 is my Linux parbreastion anddev-hda1 is my boot parbreastion - I think, I am not sure this makes any sense - Newbie here)
After that I was able to boot into Fedora. But now GRUB doesn't allow me to boot into XP. XP was set as the default OS to boot into - GRUB doesn't boot into XP, it just keeps repeatedly showing the GRUB screen asking me to choose which OS I want to boot into. Once I chose XP, something like chainloader +1 GRUB loading stage2 is shown on screen and then it comes back to the GRUB screen.
I have some really important documents in my Windows parbreastion and I am seriously freaking out. It would be great if someone could help me out with this. I also tried the edit command with XP selected in the GRUB screen (I got two lines there which read: rootnoverify(hd0,0) chainloader +1) - I don't know if this is of any help)
