I made a DSL-N HDD install. Everything worked fine, but during the install it asked me if Windows was located on hda1; I said no because windows was located on sda1. I can boot both Windows and DSL, but I have to switch around my hard drive priorities which can get kind of annoying. Is there a way I can add Windows to Grub now?

Wink You need to be root or just write

[code:1]sudo leafpad /boot/grub/menu.lst[/code:1]

And copy this

[code:1]# on /dev/hda1
title Microsoft Windows BSOD Spyware Edition
root (hd0,0)
savedefault
makeactive
chainloader +1[/code:1]

[color=blue]leafpad[/color] you can change by [color=darkblue]vi [/color]or [color=blue]nano[/color]

[/code]
