Booting Vista from Grub2

Tuesday, February 10. 2009

Booting Windows Vista from Grub2 is currently not possible, so today i found a workaround which works for me.
Just copy the MBR from your Harddisk (before installing Grub ;))

CODE:

dd if=/dev/sda bs=512 count=1 of=vista

copy it to your /boot-Dir and edit your grub.cfg

CODE:

menuentry "Vista" {
set root=(hd0,[0-9])
chainloader /boot/vista
}
