[FredLUG] grub problem

[Robert Lay (W9DMK)]

Dear Paul,

After the meeting Thursday evening, I got brave (since we had fixed the 
screen resolution problem) and went ahead and did an install from the Fedora 
9.0 Live CD. I got a good installation and did the fix for screen resolution 
problem, but then I found that I could not boot into Windows.

In this instance I do see the grub giving me a choice (for about half of a 
second) between "Fedora" and "Other".

When I choose "Other" it boots into a partition that contains the recovery 
system as drive D:\

Another partition containing the C:\ drive is also present on the disk, but 
grup cannot get to it because for some reason the installer set it up to 
boot from the D:\ drive.

I should be able to modify the grub to use (hd0,3) instead of (hd0,1)

I'm assuming that there are 3 partitions on hd0, numbered 1, 2 and 3 (I have 
to check that again using a bootable CD with Ghost 9.0).

Years ago I remember modifying grub or lilo relatively easily, but I am not 
at all sure how to do it now.
