GRUB breakdown

[Paul Schulz]

Hi Victor,

You don't (shouldn't) need to reinstall grub.

Boot into Ubuntu.
- do you know which partition your Wondows OS is on?

Have a look at /boot/grub/menu.lst
You need to edit this file, and add something like the following.
-----
title         Windows 95/98/NT/2000
root          (hd0,0)
makeactive
chainloader   +1
-----
There are plenty of comments in this file, so have a good read. :-)
You may need to change the '(hd0,0)' to something like (hd0,1) if the
windows partition is the second one on the disk, for example.

Cheers,
Paul
