Hi Friends,

I tried to triboot my PC but I need help. I have 80GB HDD and Now I added 250GB.

My installation order is given below.

1. XP on E: drive which is second partition for 80GB.
2. I install again Vista on C Drive of 80GB.
3. I install Fedora on F drive which is last partition for 80GB

After doing this, I got only Fedora and Vista on GRUB Loader. I added XP on GRUB but NOT WORKING.

Please guide. I WANT TO KNOW HOW TO TRIBOOT XP, VISTA AND FEDORA 8

^give roots password.
and run:
fdisk -l

When I tried to run fdisk, it says bash: command not found.

But my partition is like this :

XP is in hd0 and partition 0 i.e. First Partition C Drive
Vista is in hd0 and partition 1 i.e. Second Parition E Drive.

This is E Drive because D: drive is the first partition of my second hard disk.
Fedora is on last parition of hd0.

Thanks

hmm..u should run fdisk as root(ie,open a terminal,enter "su" give root's password )
u can try:
/sbin/fdisk -l

anyways
press "alt+f2" inside the box enter
gksu gedit /boot/grub/grub.conf

now go to the end of the file.
add below lines as per u said windows xp is in C:\> drive.
title windows xp professional
root (hd0,0)
makeactive
chainloader +1


save and reboot -try booting into xp entry :)
