Thread: Using GRUB to boot Windows fails

-

a common problem, know, nobody seems have clear cut solution.

don't want refit. doesn't work right on quad-boot setup since when installed grub on /dev/sda5/ wouldn't boot linux right.

....anyways. setup:

mac mini 1,1 2.16ghz cd
/dev/sda2/: leopard (10.5.8)
/dev/sda3/: tiger (10.4.11)
/dev/sda4/: windows xp sp3
/dev/sda5/: 9.10 ubuntu

have no problem going through 2 bootloaders boot either linux or windows. have problem windows being selected doesn't boot windows. grub installed on /dev/sda4/. installing grub on /dev/sda5/ means partition can seen efi , refit, never work.

have type or in grub/linux windows working?

not mention, have yet install swap partition...

i astonied lack of responses...maybe problem complicated?

using 9.10, don't know if using grub2 or grub legacy. used windows xp disc fix mbr using recovery console @ least can still blast bots in counterstrike.

have no problem reinstalling ubuntu again, way going not encouraging. check out video editor (doesn't entries in software center "not available in e current data" , running sudo apt-get update doesn't work) , fiddle netatalk.

how devide circle equal parts reggie,   depending on version, may able use free divide (length) script available here, setting number,   http://park12.wakwak.com/~shp/lc/et/en_aics_script.html   or may (smart guides friends):   1) use polar grid tool right size of circle, 0 concentric dividers , desired number of radial dividers, , ungroup; 2) extend radial dividers; 3) select circle , use scissors tool @ intersections (smart guides intersect ), may need select remaining parts underway.   or may (smart guides friends):   1) create vertical line through top , bottom (or left , right) anchor points line tool; 2) rotate copies @ relevant angles (to half number of cuts division); 3) select circle , use scissors tool @ intersections (smart guides intersect ), may need select remaining parts underway.
