Grub Question
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,

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...........

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.

Code:
...
title KNOPPIX
root (hd0,5)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz
initrd /boot/initrd
...
The GRUBbish way of naming partitions:
hda = (hd0)
hdb = (hd1)
...
hda1 = (hd0,0)
hda2 = (hd0,1)
...
hda6 = (hd0,5)

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"
Sorry I saw now that you have solved the problem
