What a rush! I just successfully installed PCLOS to my hardrive. I started with a drive with a standard Windows XP installed and SUSE 11.2 installed. I deleted the partitions containing SUSE and created new partitions for the PCLOS install including swap, /, and /home as ext4 type. I then completed the rest of the install of 12-15-2010 KDE standard 692 MB version. All went well. I answered a few more questions and the install was finished. Everything is running great, in face much faster than SUSE.
Now for my question:My GRUB entries for windows show only the following entry:
title windows
root (hd0,0)
chainloader +1
This entry works fine but it boots into the Windows fail safe mode. Which is the first partition on the drive. So, what would be the correct GRUB entry to include which would allow me (actually, my wife) to boot into the standard run version of Windows XP?
She only needs to do this for some work related programs, otherwise she also has found Linux more useful. So any help would be most useful.
