I'm wanted to include my Windows in the GRUB bootloader. So i had a look in the grub.conf of the Gentoo Linux 1.4_rc2 installation instructions. I tried it out, but Windows won't boot. It occured an error "Invalid and ... executable format" or so... Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. If you have a Windows partition you have only to put "title=Windows *** root (hdX,Y) chainloader +1" in the grub.conf (like the Gentoo Linux 1.4_rc2 installation instructions) 2. save 3. reboot Actual Results: I tried it out, but Windows won't boot. It occured an error "Invalid and ... executable format" or so... Expected Results: Boot Windows Here is the solution: You have only to replace "chainloader +1" with "chainloader (hdX,Y)+1" (hdX,Y) represents the Windows partition.
Triple post for some reason.
