grub doesn't load windows

Postby fjkhf » Thu Sep 27, 2012 17:45

Hello ,
i tried to load windows from grub menu but when i choose it,it appears a blank screen with a cursor "_" blinking.

I don't remember accessing windows from the moment i installed sabayon linux.So,i don't know if this problem arises from the upgrades or was from the beginning.I must say,though,that with previous linux installs i didn't have a problem.

In grub.cfg

Code: Select all
menuentry "Windows 7 (loader) (on /dev/sdc1)" --class windows --class os {
   insmod part_msdos
   insmod ntfs
   set root='(hd2,msdos1)'
   search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set=root 1054759E547586EE
   chainloader +1
}


and in fdisk -l

Code: Select all
Disk /dev/sdc: 120.0 GB, 120033041920 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 14593 cylinders, total 234439535 sectors
Units = sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes
Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
Disk identifier: 0x000b25f2

   Device Boot      Start         End      Blocks   Id  System
/dev/sdc1   *          63   234420479   117210208+   7  HPFS/NTFS/exFAT



Thank you!
