Additional Information:
Disk 1 (30GB) IS
Connected to the primary IDE controller and set to masterdisk 2 (45GB) IS connection to the primary IDE controller and set to slave
Disk 3 (200GB) IS Connected to a Separate PCI Controller (Promise Ultra100 TX2). Disk3 is The Only Device on this controller and is configured as "single"
Windows XP is installed on disk3.
Disk 1 HAS A FAT32 Partition for Holding Linux Setup CD Images, And Disk1 Holds The Linux Installation Itself.
When I setup Linux, I had it install GRUB to the MBR of disk1. I reconfigured the system BIOS to boot from disk1 instead of disk3. Thus, when the computer boots, I'm presented with the GRUB menu from which I can choose which Os to boot. Unfortunately, if i choose "windows" it does not boot. It Spits out:
Booting Windows
Rootnoverify (HD0, 4)
CHAINLOADER 1 "
And the Sits there.
Linux Boots Fine from this Menu.
I am Still Able To Get Into Windows By Changing The Bios Setting To Boot from Disk3 Instead of Disk1. This is cumbersome, and is what this question is about:
How do I Reconfigure Grub SO That IT Boots Windows PROPERLY ON THISTEM?
Here is the /boot/grub/grub.conf file:
==============
# Grub.conf generated by Anaconda
#
# Note That You Do Not Have to Run Grub After Making Changes To this file
# NOTICE: You Have A / Boot Partition. This Means That
# All kernel and ionrd paths are relative to / boot /, eg.
# Root (hd0, 1)
# Kernel / vmlinuz-version Ro root = / dev / hda3
# Initrd /initrd-version.img
# Boot = / dev / hda
DEFAULT = 2
TIMEOUT = 10
