Thanks,</blockquote><div> Yeah this can be done. 1. You need to have the bootloader (Grub) installed on the MBR of boot partition (which would contain /boot) 2. Make an image of MBR of this partition. (you could use dd and get the first 512 bytes [bs=512] ) 3. Copy this image to your win-xp and add an entry for this in boot.ini (if i am right) Now win-xp bootloader would chain-load (?) the linux bootloader. </div> <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"> -- Knute Johnson Molon Labe... -- fedora-list mailing list <a href="mailto:fedora-list@redhat.com">fedora-list@redhat.com</a> To unsubscribe: <a href="https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list"> https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list</a> </blockquote></div>
