Thread: Add Windows to Boot Menu
okay, i've installed ubuntu server 8.04.3, , i'd install windows in empty space i've left on hard drive.
realize need backup mbr before so. there else should before install windows?
after install windows, know need restore mbr using dd livedisc. -- here's main question: i'm assuming grub entirely unaware of fact windows installed on machine. how add windows boot menu? know there way adding entry grub.cfg or that, know if there more straightforward, automatic way it. think there must be, because had windows been installed prior ubuntu installation, ububntu-server installer have scanned hdd , auto-detected windows there , automatically added boot menu. how can prompt go through procedure again , update boot menu? in advance!
i don't know of automatic method (no guarantee 1 not exist) - add grub.conf (or menu.lst) new section, like:
title windows
rootnoverify (hd0,3) or wherever partition is
chainloader +1
, should it. note description of partition grub fashion, disk , partition numbering zero.
