[wplug] Fedora 3 windows XP dual booting

[Dileep Vangasseri]

Hello,

Today, at the meeting Ted helped me to get rid of my
SuSe 9.0 and migrate to Fedora 3 on my vaio. FC works
perfect, and we could configure almost all the things
(including the 3D accelration for my radeon card). We
put FC as the default boot. However, I forgot to check
if it was booting to windows after the installtion.
Now whenever I try to boot to windows it gives me an
error message as

rootnoverify hd0,0
chainloader +1

"This is not a bootable disk, Please insert a bootable
floppy and press any key".

My grub config looks like this:

# grub.conf generated by anaconda
#
# Note that you do not have to rerun grub after making
changes to this file
# NOTICE:  You have a /boot partition.  This means
that
#          all kernel and initrd paths are relative to
/boot/, eg.
#          root (hd0,2)
#          kernel /vmlinuz-version ro root=/dev/hda5
#          initrd /initrd-version.img
#boot=/dev/hda
default=0
timeout=5
splashimage=(hd0,2)/grub/splash.xpm.gz
hiddenmenu
title Fedora Core (2.6.9-1.667)
        root (hd0,2)
        kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.9-1.667 ro root=LABEL=/
rhgb quiet
        initrd /initrd-2.6.9-1.667.img
title Windows
        rootnoverify (hd0,0)
        chainloader +1

We have not erased our windows (!) since an fdisk 
 -l /dev/hda gives me the following output:

/dev/hda1               1         608     4883728+   c
 W95 FAT32 (LBA)
/dev/hda2   *         609        2432    14651280    7

 Linux swap
/dev/hda7            3342        4864    12233466   83
 Linux


It would be of great help if someone could help me to
boot my system to windows. I have an XP as dual boot
and I have some VERY IMPORTANT files in its C drive
(ntfs). I could get most of the files in D drive by
mounting the D drive (vfat) from linux itself. 

With regards,

Dileep
