GRUB after changing Win 2000 to XP

[gismondo]

What kind of error do you get when you try to boot windows??
Then, did you try reinstalling Grub after having fixed Windows MBR (with Super Grub Disk or with fixmbr from WinXP Cd)??
To install Grub...

I don't see anything that's wrong
And my menu.lst has the following to boot XP

Code: Select all

# This entry automatically added by the Debian installer for a non-linux OS
# on /dev/sda1
title		Microsoft Windows XP Professional
root		(hd0,0)
savedefault
makeactive
chainloader	+1

And that's what you have except for title which is irrelevant

themad,

Your english is fine.

Lets try this. Fix your Windows install back so it boots directly into Windows.

Now use your Supergrub disk to boot into Mint. Don't try to "fix" anything with Supergrub. Just use it to boot into Mint.

Look in the menu and find a program called Gparted. Open that program and post a screen shot of your partition table.

If you haven't changed your menu.lst since you posted it, that should give us the information we need to make everything work. Hopefully.
