hi guys, i need some help!
how can i configur my grub.conf file to have dual boot?
grub.conf:

Code:

# grub.conf generated by anaconda
#
# Note that you do not have to rerun grub after making changes to this file
# NOTICE:  You do not have a /boot partition.  This means that
#          all kernel and initrd paths are relative to /, eg.
#          root (hd0,3)
#          kernel /boot/vmlinuz-version ro root=/dev/sda4
#          initrd /boot/initrd-version.img
#boot=/dev/sda
default=0
timeout=5
splashimage=(hd0,3)/boot/grub/splash.xpm.gz
hiddenmenu
title Fedora Core (2.6.9-1.667)
   root (hd0,3)
   kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.9-1.667 ro root=LABEL=LINUX rhgb quiet
   initrd /boot/initrd-2.6.9-1.667.img
title Other
   rootnoverify (hd0,4)
   chainloader +1

and this is after i run

Code:

fdisk -l

result:

Code:

[root@localhost ~]# fdisk -l

The sda1 partition looks like windows right? Then just copy:
title Other
rootnoverify (hd0,4)
chainloader +1

and change it to:

title Other2
rootnoverify (sd0,1)
chainloader +1
