I have win2k in stalled and I've been using redhat7.1... all is well...

I downloaded red hat7.2... installed it... it works fine... except grub doesn't give me the option to boot into windows.

I know i have to add some commands...

its been a while... i know i'm supposed to vi /etc/grub.conf...

I've forgotten what i'm supposed to add...

What do i do to have windows and linux in my grub boot menu...

thank you...
Will

You're suppose to add something similar to this (in /etc/grub/menu.lst I think...):

title Windows2000
root(hdx,y)
makeactive
chainloader +1
where in the second line, x is number of the disk (starting at 0...), and y is the number of the partition on the disk of your Win2k (starting at 0 once again...)

Add this to your /boot/grub/menu.lst file.

title=w2k
rootnoverify=(hd0,0)
makeactive
chainloader +1


The ' (hd0,0) ' refers to your hda1 partition.
