Thanks for your help guys, but I have tried this. The first one: |
| 2 |
grub> root (hd0,0) |
| 3 |
grub> chainloader +1 |
| 4 |
grub> boot |
| 5 |
|
| 6 |
does not work as this sends me to the faulty grub installation (on the |
| 7 |
hd0,0 - one beneath the correct one) and grub can't find the first stage |
| 8 |
files. I need to delete this one on the first partition and reload the NT |
| 9 |
loader here. |
| 10 |
|
| 11 |
The second one: |
| 12 |
grub> root (hd0,1) |
| 13 |
grub> chainloader +1 |
| 14 |
grub> boot |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
does not work as nt cant find the ntloader. |
| 17 |
I think it was completely may fault though. I did not have the grub |
| 18 |
installation instructions then. |
| 19 |
Thank for your help. I did not mean to imply that the instructions were at |
| 20 |
fault. Keep up the good work. |
