I have installed Linux and Windows XP on my hard drive and am trying to set up a dual boot. Unfortunately XP is installed at a high sector, namely block 204438565. The partition table starts:
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/sda1 63 2040254 1020096 83 Linux /dev/sda2 2040255 104438564 51199155 83 Linux /dev/sda3 * 104438565 206836874 51199155 b W95 FAT32 ... I have set up grub.conf as follows: ... title Windows rootnoverify (hd0,2) chainloader +1 The grub initialization screen starts OK, but when I select Windows, grub fails with a disk read error. Questions: (1) Is grub.conf set up right for this partition table? (2) Is it possible to boot XP at this location, or do I have to reinstall Linux and XP with their partition reversed, so as to get the XP partition to a smaller block number? (3) Is there some quicker way to get the partitions reversed other than reinstallation?
