Re: Grub issues booting Win xp
Hi,
I am sorry that I didn't make this clear. According to MS' document, FIXBOOT
fixes the boot sector of the partition, not the master boot record. Anyway,
FIXBOOT + FIXMBR will solve the boot problem of Windows XP for the most of
time, and then you can try other methods to restore grub. One way that I
usually use is to boot computer with Debian installation disc, change to
console instead of setup interface, mount the root partition, change the
root and use grub-install to fix the boot of Linux. Good luck!

I don't see what this would help. I want to keep grub as the main bootloader
and this would just overwrite grub with the win xp booloader.
Have fun,
