Hi:
I'm trying to install grub in my WinXP (Home Edition) laptop (for the
purpose of installing
Linux later). I decided that to use GrubInstall
(http://www.geocities.com/lode_leroy/grubinstall/).
The following is the content of boot.ini (readonly,hidden,system file):
C:\boot\stage1="GRUB"
I copied stage1 and stage2 to c:\boot
I also created a very simple menu.lst in c:\boot:
default 0
timeout 8
title Windows XP
rootnoverify (hd0,0)
chainloader (hd0,0) + 1
Am I correct in assuming that whitespace are allowed before "rootnoverify"
and "chainloader"?
Grub manual did not say anything about whitespaces.
According to the INSTALL.txt file:
The defaults are such that if you put the files in C:\boot you can simply
go for
"grubinstall"; hence I ran "grubinstall"
I rebooted my computer, and no menu appeared. There was a message but
before I can jot it
down; it disappeared.
Any ideas why it didn't work?
Regards,
Ludwig
