ianw1974 Posted July 15, 2008 Report Share Posted July 15, 2008 OK, so what you can do is edit /boot/grub/menu.lst like this: First, press ALT-F2 together. I'm unsure of if you are using Gnome or KDE, so I will write both. Gnome: In the box that popped up type: gksu gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst enter root password when prompted. Now, at the bottom of the file add: title Windows rootnoverify (hd0,1) makeactive chainloader +1 you can copy and paste that text. Then save the file. KDE: Instead of the gksu command use: kdesu kwrite /boot/grub/menu.lst the rest is the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ianw1974 Posted July 15, 2008 Report Share Posted July 15, 2008 Check that NUM LOCK isn't enabled. When I installed on my system, NUM LOCK was enabled and causing problems with the buttons not working as they should do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ianw1974 Posted July 15, 2008 Report Share Posted July 15, 2008 Yes, it was a number one at the end of the chainloader. Yes, when you reboot, you should see an option now to boot Windows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
