Any ideas to get grub working or anything to boot it? Ok well first you need to get a working menu.lst file in grub. Mine looks like: title Debian bf2.4 root (hd0,0) kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.4.18-bf2.4 root=/dev/hda1 hdc=ide-scsi title Debian 2.6.0 root (hd0,0) kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.0 root=/dev/hda1 hdc=ide-scsi title Low-level Format root (hd0,3) chainload +1 But yours would look like: title Windows root (hd0,0) chainloader +1 title Redhat root (hd0,1) kernel /boot/name-of-redhat-kernel root=/dev/hda2 title Debian root (hd1,0) kernel /boot/name-of-debian-kernel root=/dev/hdb1 Then assuming grub is installed on redhat you would run grub in redhat and enter the following commands: root (hd0,1) This tells grub that /boot/grub/ is on /dev/hda2 setup (hd0) This tells grub to install itself on /dev/hda Bijan -- Bijan Soleymani <bijan@psq.com> http://www.crasseux.com
