GRUB duel boot

Recommended Posts

Hello,

Hope I have the right forum... I am having a problem setting up GRUB for duel booting into W2k from Linux installed on another drive. I would like to boot W2k on hdb from grub installed on linux hda.

The way it is setup now if I choose DOS from the GRUB screen I get this: "rootnoverify (hd0,0) chainloader +1 Error 13: Invalid or unsupported executable format" which is of course is just what it says in the /boot/grub.conf file, and it will not load. Below are my grub.conf and partition tables from fdisk.

Can someone please give me a clue what I should do to be able to also boot into W2k on the second drive from grub? Thanks very much for any insight, auji
