Activate Logical Partitions

[Frank Leitner]

Hi, 
i've bought a new hard disk today which i've partitioned in the following
way: 
 
/dev/hda1 -> linux boot 
/dev/hda2 -> linux root  
/dev/hda3 -> swap 
 
/dev/hda5 -> linux home 
/dev/hda6 -> windows xp 
/dev/hda7 -> windows documents 
 
linux works fine this way, but i was not able to start windows. When i try
to start windows i'm 
immediately at the grub console again. when adding a "makeactive" he tell me
that he can't 
ativate this partition (i think because it's in a logical one) 
 
my menu.lst: 
default 0 
timeout 8 
 
title linux 
    kernel (hd0,0)/vmlinuz root=/dev/hda3 vga=0x31a  hdg=ide-scsi
hdh=ide-scsi h 
dhlun=0 splash=silent showopts 
    initrd (hd0,0)/initrd 
 
title Windoze 
    root (hd0,5) 
    makeactive 
    chainloader +1 
 
i hope you can help me solving this problem ;) 
 
regards
