Hello -

I am trying to set up a Dell Optiplex that will dual boot to CentOS and Windows XP. I am using two different SATA drives, one for each OS. Initially, I had Windows as the first drive and tried to have the choice using "boot.ini". I have since switched the drives and am now trying to have the alternative of booting Windows using the Grub loader. When I select the Windows option blanks for a second and then comes back to the loader.

The following is the contents of grub.conf:

# grub.conf generated by anaconda
#
# Note that you do not have to rerun grub after making changes to this file
# NOTICE: You have a /boot partition. This means that
# all kernel and initrd paths are relative to /boot/, eg.
# root (hd0,0)
# kernel /vmlinuz-version ro root=/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00
# initrd /initrd-version.img
#boot=/dev/sda
default=0
timeout=5
splashimage=(hd0,0)/grub/splash.xpm.gz

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanx ... Dave
