Hello, I had Win 98 on C: and Win XP on D: drives. I did not require Win 98. So I thought of intalling Linux on C: After doing it, I can boot into Linux but not into Win XP. It gives the following message and stops rootnoverify(hd0,4) chainloader +1 System Configurations 80GB system was partitioned into 4 equal capacity drives (C,D,E,F). Linux installed on C. hda1 - /boot hda3 - swap hda4 - / Please help me. Is there any solution apart from re-installing

Am I to assume Windows XP resides on hda2? If so, it looks like you have to edit /boot/grub/grub.conf (might have to "mount /boot" to get it to show up) and change "rootnoverify(hd0,4)" to "rootnoverify(hd0,1)". The second number needs to be the partition Windows is on minus 1. I also have a line with "makeactive" between the rootnoverify and chainloader lines. I'm not sure if you need that, though.

I think he has 4 partitions on one drive. If the OP will show us the output of: fdisk -l /dev/hda and (if it exists) fdisk -l /dev/hdb it would help diagnose. Guy
