Problem with booting Vista
Posted: Sat Oct 25, 2008 12:09 pm
Hello!
I am new to linux and need some help with my system.
I have use Vista for some month now and want to use linux so I choose linuxmint
On my hd there was vista so I shrink that partition so I could install mint.
After the installation mint works perfect but vista dont boot.
I run GParted and got this info.
/dev/sda1 ext3
/dev/sda2 extended
/dev/sda6 linux-swap
/dev/sda5 ntfs
This is my menu.lst file
## ## End Default Options ##
title Linux Mint x64, kernel 2.6.24-16-generic
root (hd0,0)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.24-16-generic root=/dev/sda1 ro quiet splash

kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.24-16-generic root=/dev/sda1 ro single
initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.24-16-generic

kernel /boot/memtest86+.bin

# on /dev/sdb2
title Microsoft Windows Vista
root (hd0,4)
makeactive
chainloader +1
savedefault
map (hd0) (hd1)
map (hd1) (hd0)
The error I got when I try to start Vista is:
root (hd0,4)
Filesystem type unknown, partition type 0x7
makeactive
Error 12: Invalid device requested
How should I edit this file and do I need to do something else?
