Hi, I have just installed solaris 10 XDE on the unpartitioned space of my
second 160 GB sata drive. The first drive (80GB) had windows installed on it.
The installation was successful but the grub is now unable to load windows
showing a blank screen with a blinking cursor. The output of the df -ah command
is a follows:
bash-3.00$ df -ah
Filesystem size used avail capacity Mounted on
/dev/dsk/c1d0s0 22G 5.4G 16G 26% /

-hosts 0K 0K 0K 0% /net
auto_home 0K 0K 0K 0% /home
Thing to note is that solaris is not listing any partition of my first drive
nor the extended partition in the second drive (with solaris installed in
unpartitioned space).
for the windows partition menu.lst file says (i think) :
# Unknown partition of type 15 found on /dev/rdsk/c1d0p0 partition: 1
# It maps to the GRUB device: (hd0,0) .
title Windows XP Professional x64 Edition
rootnoverify (hd0,0)
chainloader +1
# Unknown partition of type 15 found on /dev/rdsk/c2d0p0 partition: 2
# It maps to the GRUB device: (hd0,1) .
I have tried to change the parameters in the grub but the boot loader reappears
after a pause of about 3-4 seconds (showing a blank screen in the mean time).
Can anyone help me to get my windows back
