Hi all,
I've installed CentOS 4.4 in a box which previously had dual boot (XP
SP2 and Ubuntu)
I can run CentOS without problem but I can't boot XP SP2. When I try it
the system simply hangs...
[root@seth ~]# fdisk -l
Disco /dev/hdb: 40.0 GB, 40020664320 bytes

/dev/sda4 19204 19457 2040255 82 Linux swap
And...
[root@seth ~]# cat /boot/grub/menu.lst

chainloader +1
And, finally...
[root@seth ~]# cat /boot/grub/device.map
# this device map was generated by anaconda
(fd0) /dev/fd0
(hd0) /dev/hdb
(hd1) /dev/sda
Alls seems good but the problem stills there: no error messages, simply
hangs...
¿Any clue?
