Hi,

I installed a Linux system on a separate hard drive and I want to start
both, Windows XP and Linux from the Windows boot menu.

I've extracted the Linux system's boot sector using BootPart
(http://www.winimage.com/bootpart.htm) and integrated it to BOOT.INI:

[boot loader]
timeout=30
default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOW S
[operating systems]
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Micro soft Windows XP
Professional" /noexecute=optin /fastdetect
C:\CitXenSrv.MBR="Citrix XenServer Free"

Unfortunately I cannot get the Linux system started. I thought this may
have been caused by the separate hard drive which possibly cannot be
accessed. So I tried it differently without an extracted boot sector:

[boot loader]
timeout=30
default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOW S
[operating systems]
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Micro soft Windows XP
Professional" /noexecute=optin /fastdetect
multi(0)disk(1)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Citri x XenServer Free"

But I haven't been successful either.

I know that this can be "worked around" using GRUB4DOS but I'd prefer to
have it done just unsing Windows components. Does anyone of you know
about how to get this working that way?

CU,
Mészi.
