I'm sorry I should of gave you more info:

I have slitz 4.0 on /dev/sda1

I have windows 7 on /dev/hda1

I got the old boot of 3.0 out of there sense I upgrated from that.

So I'm making some gain. Had to reinstall a few times, lost the grub hahaha

But I'm back and gained some ground...

I got windows to show. But it comes up with the error:

Invalid or unsupported execuble format.

This is how I did it:

title Windows 7

#

rootnoverify (hd0,0)

chainloader +1

Window 7 being on ide hdd

Slitaz being on the sda hdd.

I'm missing the executable setup

Windows7 normally has two partitions that of the os And that is where the system reserved boot.

You've got to bet the grub.

Another thing if you have two disks then the launch of the second becomes (hd1, 0)

Well this is not working. I have tried every thing on the net.

I get this error:

root (hd1.0)

error 11 unrecognized device string.

I will have to stay with f8 to boot to windows till some one

know how to do this and let me know.

I do not like to quit cause some on else may be looking for this answer.

So it's f8

So here is how I got it so far:

title other opperating systems : root (hda1)

#

title windows 7

rootnoverify (hd0.0)

map (hd0) (hd1)

map (hd1) (hd0)

makeactive

chainloader +1

I had it

title windows 7

rootnoverify (hd1,0)

chainloader +1

makeactive

And I get this:

root (hd1,0)

error 11 unrecognized

device string
