1 Hello,
2 I needed to install Windows XP on a logical partition, but I found that it
3 can't boot from such a partition because NTLDR needs to be installed on a
4 primary one.
5 So I set up the following partition scheme:
6 /dev/sda1 ext3 Gentoo root
7 /dev/sda2 ntfs NTLDR
8 /dev/sda4 Extended
9 /dev/sda5 ext2 Gentoo portage
10 /dev/sda6 swap Gentoo swap
11 /dev/sda7 ext3 Gentoo home
12 /dev/sda8 ntfs Windows XP
13
14 Win xp installed and booted without problem but now that I need to restore
15 GRUB, I am wondering if I need to write "root (hd0,1)" or "root (hd0,7)"
16 into the grub.conf to boot windows.
17
18 Thanks for your help
19 Julien.
