Here is the contents of my /etc/grub.conf file:
# grub.conf generated by anaconda
#
# Notes that you do not need to rerun grub after making changes to this file
# NOTICE : You have a /boot partition. this means that
# all kernel and initrd paths are relative to /boot/, eg.
# root (hd1,0)
# kernel /vmlinuz-version.img
#boot=/dev/hda
default=1
timeout=10
splashimage=(hdl1,0)/grub/splash.xpm.gz
title Red Hat Linux (2.4.18-14)
root (hd1,0)
kernel /vmlinuz-2.4.18-14 ro root=LABEL=/
initrd /initrd-2.4.18-14.img
title DOS
rootnoverify (hd0,0)
chainloader +1
If I can somehow retrieve my windows setup I will remove that
disk and then practice on installing Linux until I get the feel of it.
