hi,
instead of editing the grub menu everytime during boot, it would be better
if you could permanently apply the change in /boot/grub/menu.lst.
First, understand the basics.
root(hd0,0) points to the first partition in your first hard disk
root(hd0,1) points to the second partition in your first hard disk
so if windows vista is present in the 4th parition(just assuming) ...
in /boot/grub/menu.lst
add the following after the ubuntu menu items :
title Windows Vista
rootnoverify (hd0,3)
savedefault
makeactive
chainloader +1
if any problem occurs or if i am wrong, please do enlighten me :)

Hi..
When ur grub shows the OS,U point to the windows vista and press
'e' to edit the grub command line.Next u want to edit the root(hd0,4).
For that point to root(,) and again press e to edit.then change
the x in the root(hd0,x) to some values 2,3,5,6 or else.then give
"enter" and 'b' to boot.i think ur installation drive may be wrongly
taken!
Try this..if it is wrong correct me!

3.redhat
here ubuntu, redhat only properly working , i can select windows
)that time these error comming *(Re: Error 12: Invalid device requested
how i can solve this problem?
Unfortunately this is not a simple question to answer.
I have had to reinstall several times to get things right.
Traditionally I install Windows in the first partition of the disk to
avoid issues.
Best of luck!
That is all I can do now. Perhaps others have better ideas than me?
