Thread: grub error 13


hi. installed jaunty week or ago in dual boot xp home edition. each os 1 own hard drive. now, never use windows anymore, wife on occasion. today, tried boot xp , grub gave error 13. went menu.lst , says windows.

# entry automatically added debian installer non-linux os
# on /dev/sdb1
title microsoft windows xp home edition
rootnoverify (hd1,0)
savedefault
makeactive
map (hd0) (hd1)
map (hd1) (hd0)
chainloader +1


# entry automatically added debian installer non-linux os
# on /dev/sdb2
title windows nt/2000/xp
rootnoverify (hd1,1)
savedefault
makeactive
map (hd0) (hd1)
map (hd1) (hd0)
chainloader +1

can me going her. don't know do. search error 13 showed me different solutions. thanks.

if xp on it's own drive, try booting directly drive. may need change boot order in bios. if xp won't boot directly drive might issue drive , not grub.

might try altering menu.lst entry xp following , seeing if allows grub pass control ntldr on other drive:

code:
title microsoft windows xp home edition  rootnoverify (hd1,0)  savedefault  makeactive  chainloader +1
