Back
At the grub prompt,
try running these commands
> rootnoverify (hd0, 0) ---- or (hd0, 1) depending on what your winxp
>partition is
> chainloader +1
> boot
hopefully that will stick you into windows
you can also try and manually boot redhat by
>kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.4.whatever root=/dev/hdc(whatever your redhat
>partition is) initrd /boot/initrd-2.4.whatever.img
>boot
if you don 't know what kernel you are running, double tab after the /boot/
will autocomplete file names at this point.
Hope this helps
