I'm certainly no grub expert, but it looks to me as though Grub should expect Knoppix on the 3rd partition of the 7th hard drive...........
I installed grub and i have the following as my c:\boot.ini
[boot loader]
c:\boot\stage1="GRUB"
timeout=30
default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOW S
[operating systems]
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Micro soft Windows XP Home Edition" /fastdetect
I also have the following as my menu.lst
# Sample boot menu configuration file
#
# Boot automatically after a minute.
timeout 60
# By default, boot the second entry.
default 1
# Fallback to the first entry.
fallback 0
title Windows XP
unhide (hd0,0)
rootnoverify (hd0,0)
chainloader +1
title KNOPPIX
root (hd6,2)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz
initrd /boot/initrd
But I am not presented with a boot menu when I start my comp, it goes directly to windows xp. What am I doing wrong?
Thanks,

fdisk in linux shows the following:
/dev/hda1 NTFS
/dev/hda2 Win95 Ext'd (I'm using win XP though)
/dev/hda5 Linux Swap
/dev/hda6 Linux
The bootable flag is on for the hda1.
Now, what should I put in that menu.lst that would allow me to have a boot menu for linux and windows xp.
The GRUBbish way of naming partitions:Code:... title KNOPPIX root (hd0,5) kernel /boot/vmlinuz initrd /boot/initrd ...
hda = (hd0)
hdb = (hd1)
...
hda1 = (hd0,0)
hda2 = (hd0,1)
...
hda6 = (hd0,5)
Ciao Martin
I used LILO and now everything is fixed.
THank you for all your guy's help!
Hi there , my line order is diferent of yours , and for me it works:
[boot loader]
timeout=30
default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOW S
[operating systems]
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Micro soft Windows XP Home Edition" /fastdetect
c:\boot\stage1="GRUB"
