I've recently upgraded from RedHat 9 to CentOS 4.4. With RH9 I had a dual boot system with Windows XP (RH9 as the default of course!), which was automatically set up when I installed RH9 in the remaining partition after I'd installed XP. However, I appear to have lost my dual boot with CentOS 4.4 (no option to boot into DOS now), even though I still have the Windows XP partition, so how can I (re-) set up the dual boot?
Thanks, Andy

Check your /boot/grub/grub.conf file. Does it have lines like these?
title winXP rootnoverify (hd0,1) chainloader +1
(This is just an example, yours may be different)

Thanks Akemi, I checked the /boot/grub/grub.conf file and it did have those lines. Then I realised that I had to press a key to get into the sub-menu giving the boot options! So all is well - thanks.
