Problem: I had Windows 2000 Professional on the first partition of the first hard drive. I installed a second hard drive, and installed Linux 7.2 Workstation Class on the second hard drive, selecting GRUB as the boot loader. Every time I boot, I do not have a dual boot menu - only boots to Linux.
Solution: You have to login as root and edit the
/boot/grub/grub.conf file. Do the following:
In your Linux X window environment, go to KDE menus > Editors > Kate
and open /boot/grub/grub.conf
Add the following to the file:
title Windows 2000
rootnoverify (hd0,0)
chainloader +1
makeactive
and save the file.
Log out and reboot. Upon reboot you will see the dual boot menu
with Windows 2000 at the bottom. If you want to boot to Windows 2000
you have to select it.
If you have edited the grub.conf file wrongly, when you select Windows
2000 to boot, you will prompted for a password and given the choice to
edit the lines in the grub config file.
