    Hey guys

    i followed this guide:
    http://apcmag.com/how_to_dual_boot_linu ... _first.htm

    And everything was going well until the last nanosecond. I have the grub loader up and running, it shows XP at the bottom of the list as it should... but selecting it does nothing. Is there something wrong with the (hd0,1) command in the menu.lst pehaps?

    Anything in that guide that has been missed out?

    Forgot about this.

    Managed to find the problem, missed out a space in the chainloader command in menu.lst,

    i had "chainloader+1" rather than "chainloader +1"

    Dual booting perfectly. That's a decent guide.
