hi, i want to triple boot rh7.3 win me and 2k using grub, the curent grub.conf is: title Red Hat Linux (2.4.18-3) root (hd0,7) kernel /vmlinuz-2.4.18-3 ro root=/dev/hda9 hdc=ide-scsi initrd /initrd-2.4.18-3.img title Windows ME rootnoverify (hd0,0) chainloader +1 since i installed win2k later the win2k boot loader menu appears when i choose win me, the question is how to add win2k to grub so each OS loads from grub directly???? this is the fdisk output: Disk /dev/hdd: 240 heads, 63 sectors, 1292 cylinders Units = cylinders of 15120 * 512 bytes Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/hdd1 * 1 1 0 0 Empty Partition 1 does not end on cylinder boundary: phys=(0, 0, 0) should be (0, 239, 63) /dev/hdd2 2 1292 9759960 f Win95 Ext'd (LBA) /dev/hdd5 2 1292 9759928+ b Win95 FAT32 Disk /dev/hda: 240 heads, 63 sectors, 5169 cylinders Units = cylinders of 15120 * 512 bytes Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/hda1 * 1 1293 9775048+ c Win95 FAT32 (LBA) /dev/hda2 1294 5169 29302560 f Win95 Ext'd (LBA) /dev/hda5 1294 2586 9775048+ b Win95 FAT32 /dev/hda6 3231 3879 4906408+ b Win95 FAT32 /dev/hda7 3880 5169 9752368+ b Win95 FAT32 /dev/hda8 2587 2593 52888+ 83 Linux /dev/hda9 2594 3178 4422568+ 83 Linux /dev/hda10 3179 3230 393088+ 82 Linux swap Partition table entries are not in disk order Note: grub is on the MBR and win2k is on hdd5.

Win2K needs to be in the MBR to boot up. Look here for more info. http://www.slackware.com/book/index.php?source=x1776.html P.S. I've only been vulturing around this forum for 2 days and I've seen many repeat questions. I have already helped out someone else on this topic. Try searching the forums! T

Oh, it was you that I responded to yesterday. I don't think M$ rules on MBR have changed since. I would stick with NT Loader doing the job, I know it sucks, but what can you do. T

hey, i don't think windoze 2000 is in the MBR because when i installed it, it didn't overwrite my grub which is in the MBR, my grub is still working as i mentioned and even win2k and ME, but both windoze are in the category 'windows' in grub which are controled by win2k's bootloader. my question is how to seperate them so they can be loaded indivitually, i am sure there is a way to modify the grub.conf to do that.

Copy the following files from your winme to your win2k partition: boot.ini bootsect.dos ntldr ntdetect.com Now edit your grub.conf and add the following: title Windows 2K rootnoverify (hd0,4) chainloader +1 and use this grub entry to boot into windows, if all goes well you can now edit your boot.ini in win2k to make win2k the default os and change the timeout to 0. Have fun!

My bad, I've never used Grub before so I don't know it's capabilities. If that works then more power to you. I was under the impression that NT based O/S won't boot if it doesn't own the MBR. If I'm wrong then more power to us!!! T
