here's a sample from grub4dos menu.lst:

title find and load NTLDR of Windows NT/2K/XP
fallback 1
find --set-root --ignore-floppies /ntldr
chainloader /ntldr
# savedefault --wait=2 

it searches for the first xp installation then boots it. i don't know how different it would be in grub.

ok ill check it out thanks.i should just get rid of xp and just use it all for slitaz

Depending on the version of GRUB, the following may also work:

title Windows XP
rootnoverify (hd0,0)
chainloader +1

# /boot/grub/menu.lst: GRUB boot loader configuration.
#

# By default, boot the first entry.
default 0

# Boot automatically after 8 secs.
timeout 8

# Change the colors.
color yellow/brown light-green/black

# For booting SliTaz from : /dev/hda2
#
title SliTaz GNU/Linux (cooking) (Kernel vmlinuz-2.6.30.6-slitaz)
root (hd0,1)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.30.6-slitaz root=/dev/hda2
heres mine as of right now

Hi Acidburned,
Please find my configuration (which just works like a charm). I hope this will help you.

I have only one hard disk. The two OS are installed:

- Windows_XP is installed on /dev/sda1
- Slitaz is installed on /dev/sda4

Here are the informations I got when running gparted:

/dev/sda1: ntfs-50GB
/dev/sda2: fat32-15GB
/dev/sda3: ext4-200MB
/dev/sda4: ext3-30GB

And this is my menu.list contents:

$ cat /boot/grub/menu.lst  
# /boot/grub/menu.lst: GRUB boot loader configuration.
#

# By default, boot the first entry.
default 0

# Boot automatically after 8 secs.
timeout 8

# Change the colors.
color yellow/brown light-green/black

# For booting SliTaz from : /dev/sda4
#
title   SliTaz GNU/Linux (cooking) (Kernel vmlinuz-2.6.30.6-slitaz)
                root (hd0,3)
                kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.30.6-slitaz root=/dev/sda4

# For booting windoz XP from : /dev/sda1
title   Win_XP
        rootnoverify (hd0,0)
        chainloader +1
$ 

And that's it. :)
Cheers
Stephane
