XP and Fedora8 dual-drive dual-boot are successfully installed

A new workstation is added in the office to run simulation. Because the simulation platform has two types: Windows and Linux, the leaders told me to install Windows XP and Fedora8. I used to install Fedora8 dual-system through hard disk, because I did not expect the dual-disk installation to happen, so I promised with full confidence that the installation process was quite smooth, install XP first, then Fedora8, and install it on two hard disks respectively. After installation, restart again, but the problem also arises. Boot menu

A new workstation is added in the office to run simulation. Because the simulation platform has two types: Windows and Linux, the leaders told me to install Windows XP and Fedora 8.

I used to install Fedora 8 or dual-host systems through hard disks. I didn't expect any problem during dual-drive installation, so I promised with bad confidence that the installation process was quite smooth, install XP first, then Fedora 8, and install it on two hard disks respectively. After installation, restart again, but the problem also arises.

The Boot menu only contains Windows and Grub (for hard disk installation of Linux), and does not have the Fedora 8 option. After changing the boot sequence of the two hard disks in the BIOS, you can directly go to the LINUX boot menu. Although the other option is available, you can press enter to restart and enter linux again. I think this is troublesome. Do you have to change the BIOS to start the system later...

I am looking for a solution from the internet. I found this problem is common and I am asking for help.

The most common method is:

If your linux boot partition is/dev/hda2
Then
# Dd if =/dev/hda2 of =/mnt/c/bootsect. lnx bs = 512 count = 1
Of may be attached to the C drive in your win2000
Open the boot. ini file
Join
C: \ bootsect. lnx = "Linux"
Save the file.

However, the problem cannot be solved after the left trial and right trial.

Just as I was about to give up, I suddenly found that the menu. lst I used to install GRUB has the following lines:

Title Install Fedora 8
Kernel (hd0, 0)/vmlinuz
Initrd (hd0, 0)/initrd. img
Boot

The grub. conf in the/boot/grub directory of fedora8 contains the following lines:

Title Fedora (2.6.23.1-42. fc8)
Root (hd0, 0)
Kernel/vmlinuz-2.6.23.1-42.fc8 ro root =/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00 rhgbquiet
Initrd/initrd-2.6.23.1-42.fc8.img
Boot

There are a lot of similar things, so I 'd like to modify it based on the following.

Title Install Fedora 8
Kernel (hd1, 0)/vmlinuz-2.6.23.1-42.fc8
Initrd (hd1, 0)/initrd-2.6.23.1-42.fc8.img
Boot

Note that (hd1, 0)

As a result, restart the GRUB menu and select Install Fedora 8. After a command is flushed to the screen, I can see the startup screen of the familiar Fedora8.

Although I am not clear, it is very convenient to do so.

Happy from you, so I'm happy
