How to dual boot linux from windows xp with Wingrub?) mentioned in, you download WINGRB0206.EXE from this place.
Please help me!!!!Īs per the 2nd option (2. But now even with USB hard drive disconnected I just couldn't boot Linux. Of course I was able to boot Win XP after I disconnected USB hard drive and restarted. I just cannot figure out what must have happened after the Linux installation on the USB hard drive. Please, some one guide me and help me with this. So now I cannot boot Linux from the USB hard drive and also from boot CD. I just get the blank screen all the time. I tried the linux text, linux expert, linux rescue options at the boot prompt but all to no avail. It just doesn't boot even from the boot disk. Now if I press Enter, Linux should boot from the CD in graphics mode. Everything is fine and I get the boot prompt. Now I tried to boot linux with the Linux boot CD. The menu for choosing the OS wasn't even displayed and I got an OS not found message on the screen. When I restarted after installation, Linux just doesn't boot. I chose Grub as boot loader with Linux as default option if none was selected. This time I was able to see the USB hard drive and successfully install Linux. Then I ran Linux in expert mode which solved this problem. Initially I ran into problems because my USB hard drive was not recognized and not listed as an option to install Linux.
